I just moved all my file systems around, and moved my freebsd root
partition to a freebsd-only drive (i.e., no partitions, just a
disklabeled drive).  When I boot, it complains that  boot.cfg and
boot.help are missing, and I have to hit a return to get it to boot.
My original root didn't have these files, but I never got such an
error.

When I created the file partitions, I just did

disklabel -w -B sd1 conner_new

which uses /usr/mdec/boot1 and /usr/mdec/boot2.  Do I really need
/usr/mdec/boot1 and /usr/mdec/rawboot?

Here's the disklabel for the drive:

conner_new|cfp2107e_new:\
        :ty=winchester:dt=SCSI:rm#7200:\
        :se#512:nc#4096:nt#16:ns#64:\
        :oa#282624:pa#258048:ta=4.2BSD:\
        :ob#64:pb#282560:tb=swap:\
