Help me to make sure I got this right!

I've got two IDE hard drives

wd0 is all Windoze 95
wd1s1 is msdos formatted
wd1s2 is freebsd

I'd like to format wd1s1 to be freebsd.  I've used the tutorial on this.

>From what I understand, the booteasy/something looks in the first FreeBSD slice
to contain the kernel.  So I can't have the two slices on the same drive, with 
the first one not being /, right?
