My second drive is ide, not scsi, but I don't see why this would
not work. I am using the (new?) booteasy that comes with 2.0.5.
It will default to the last drive/partition I booted from. I have
Linux on wd1 with lilo installed on the MBR of wd1. It is the only
os on wd1. If I tell booteasy to boot from wd1, the next boot
defaults to wd1 and it will boot unatended. I cannot imagine why
it would not also boot FreeBSD from the second drive instead of Linux.
