You can add xen_emul_unplug=aux-ide-disks to the linux command line
options, so that the kernel will not unplug the emulated primary disk.
Then you can use root=/dev/hda to make sure that the kernel uses the
emulated interface to access the primary disk.
Afterwards you should be able to debug blkfront accessing the secondary
disk that should appear as /dev/xvdb for example.
