In your FreeBSD handbook, you write:

I have installed Linux in the second partition of my DOS drive (i
think the partition is called 'wd0s2').

What options do I give at the FreeBSD Boot:  prompt in order to
boot from this partition ? I have tried wd(0,s2) wd(0,a) etc.

Do I need a filename also ?
