Slice 1 contains a working FreeBSD system. Slice 2 is used as a swap area. Slice 3 is a, supposedly, working FreeBSD system. It's got a copy of all the files from another (working) system and I've disklabel -B'd it. When the machine boots, F1, F2, and F3 are given as options. Pressing F3 does *not* result in booting to the third slice; it results in booting to the first slice. Any ideas why this might be?
