Leopard installed but still waiting for root device on boot

Ok I got Leo installed but I keep getting "still waiting for root device on boot.

Update:Ok now that its installed I got to type rd=disk0s2 to boot into it =/.

System Specs.
CPU: AMD Athlon 4000+ X2 2.1 GHZ (being seen as a C2D)
Motherboard: Abit AN52V with nForce 520 Chipset
Ram: 6GB DDR 2
Primary Hard Disk: 160GB Sata II
Secondary Hard Disk: 80GB Sata II
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT (not working)
Network Adaptor: Broadcom 802.11g Wireless (not working)

(Hopefully it all works for my Hackintosh)

You can add any command to the boot.plist file so you wont have to input it manualy every time.
Anyway, did you install it on the second drive/partition ?

before you boot and just at bios stage trying using the function keys usually marked blue to switch just to external first then continue to boot

Tried that but when system boots and the desktop is about to show - internal one turns on again. Switching it off with the key again breaks both displays.
