Subject: How to change default boot strings

Gidday,

i have installed FreeBSD 2.1.0 on my PC.

the default boot string is:   wd(0,a)/kernel    to boot off the first
drive on the first controller, however i really need to boot off wd1 and
therefore have to enter a boot string of:    wd(1,a)/kernel

how do i make this the default boot string ?

any help will be appreciated.
