In arch/mips/cobalt/setup.c add/edit the "root=" parameter, and while 
you are there, you can also disable the probes for drives on the 
non-exsistant second ide port.

char arcs_cmdline[CL_SIZE] = {
 "console=ttyS0,115200 "
#ifdef CONFIG_ROOT_NFS
 "root=/dev/nfs "
#else
 "root=/dev/hda3 ide1=noprobe" 
#endif
 };
