Yes, but if this were the case would he have gotten that far into
the boot? The generic kernel is up and asking him for the root partition.

Is it possible it this is not unit 0 he is trying this on? Even if you
use a different drive it might be a good idea to temporarily set the
unit plug to 0 (you said it was an ra) while you do this first step.

It's almost certainly something like that, I've been thru this message
and it always was something like that.
