I wonder if I scared anybody off with all the detail. The short of it is that I have a Seagate 80GB drive on a motherboard, the drive on the 3rd of four IDE controllers (3rd and 4th are Promise ATA66). The install goes fine but after reboot, I get the boot2 prompt, which if I interrupt with the correct entry instead of the default: >>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel boot: the boot continues properly. If I don't interrupt it, I get the "Manual root filesystem specification" screen and am given the mountroot prompt. If I give the correct entry of ufs:/dev/ad4s1a everything goes well, otherwise the boot procedure is stopped. Is there a way to change the default boot2 so that it boots off of ad4 instead of ad0?
