Pehaps your best bet is installing FreeBSD on sd1? :)

That's easier than you think.  Boot it from the floppy, then add

	controller	scbus0 at <name of your SCSI ctrl, e.g. ahc0>
	disk		sd1 at scbus0 target 0

to your config file.  This forces the disk at target 0 on your first
(:-) SCSI bus to be known as `sd1' instead of the default sd0 for
FreeBSD.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
