So you have to give a hint at the boot: prompt, e. g. boot: wd(2,a)kernel if you have installed FreeBSD on the master of the second IDE controller. The number of IDE disks: wd(0,a) master first IDE controller wd(1,a) slave first IDE controller wd(2,a) master second IDE controller wd(3,a) slave second IDE controller Of course, if you have SCSI disks you need to try sd(0,a), sd(1,a) ...
