Yes, there is some magic that needs to be run on the kernel to get it to prompt for the root disk. It has been a long time so I do not remember the syntax, but I know that you need to run the "rdev" command against your custom kernel before you write it to your boot floppy. I want to say that the command is something like "rdev 1 <kernel>". Reference the man page for rdev for details.
