The secondary boot arg is required only for bootloaders which don't
recognize file system format and require block numbers of the secondary
boot in the target file system. In landisk case, bootxx_ffsv1 recognizes
FFSv1 as its name so it doesn't require "/boot" arg.

"Can't open" could be caused by various reason (MBR, disklabel,
firmware limitation etc) other than "file not found" so
it would help to check labels and data in the first sector etc.
