I can still boot from the cd, with

        boot /pci@f4000000/ata-6@d/disk@1:,ofwboot /5.1/macppc/bsd

That boots fine, with the dmesg ending with

        bootpath /pci@f4000000/ata-6@d/disk@0:/5.1/macppc/bsd
        root on wd0a (duid.a) swap on wd0b dump on wd0b

Why is it that the installed /bsd gets confused about 'root device'?
Is this a /bsd problem or still an ofwboot problem?
