The boot manager used with freebsd 2.2.x usually presents one with a menu
of F-keys for each partition which can be booted from.

When there are two disks on the system, there'll be an extra to goto
the second disk and back again.

When there are three disks on the system, you can only boot from the
first (no option to goto the second or third disk is given).

Is this fixable ?

FWIW, I've found that the boot manager so installed has been the most
reliable (for me) with multibooting varios operating systems.
