FYI. That had no affect for me at all. I was able to pass the kernel the
rootdev by:
boot -rootdev kernel
but then I had a problem when it came time to mount root as read/write. It
mounted read-only successfully and then bailed because it couldn't remount
as read/write. num_ide_disks=-1 seemed to have absolutely no affect at all.
