Try scsi-int/sd@0:0. I'm not sure how much luck you'll have with two
bootable partitions on one drive - it was causing me some problems...

I'm confused. It mounted root and then complained that it couldn't
mount root? I've never tried to use BootX with a ramdisk, though.
Try this: delete /debian/sbin/unconfigured.sh if you haven't already,
and then use BootX to boot with root=/dev/sda6. You'll run into a few
little problems, possibly, because the system hasn't been configured
yet; but then again, the installer doesn't work so hot, anyway...
