Here are a few possibilities: da0, da1, wd0, wd1, wd2. Identify the one you installed FreeBSD into. If you cannot, describe your configuration in _details_. Once you figured out which, notice the unit number. That is the number after the letters. For instance, the unit number for da0 is 0. Then, at the beginning of the bootstrap process, when a countdown message is displayed, during which you can type any key to interrupt, type any key. Then enter: set root_disk_unit=N boot where N is the unit number of the disk you installed FreeBSD into. -- Daniel C.
