You can:
a) change the default root device in /usr/include/minix/boot.h ,
   compile and link a new kernel which now thinks of a double sided
   root image as the default.
b) enter the mayor and minor device number of the double sided floppy
   when the system asks for the root image. E.g. 2,8 for /dev/dd0
