That should not work.  What is your mount command line?  ext2fs isn't
supported, I think.  I could be wrong...

wd0 == DOS (primary master)
wd1 == Linux disk  (primary slave)
wd2 == FreeBSD disk (secondary master)

You are probably going to hose your linux disk this way.  Or else
sysinstall is confused about your Linux partition and is trying to mount
it as a FreeBSD partition.
