	Ok, fixed and booted :)

	Howto:

	- create a number of partitions from within Disk Utility (I used
	HFS, but anything will do), one for each FreeBSD partitions required.

	These showed up as ad1s10,11,12 and 13.

	For booting (this is the secondary disk) I used:

	boot cd:,\boot\loader ultra1:10

	(ultra0 and ultra1 are devaliases for first IDE disk and second IDE
	in OpenFirmware, as the OF command 'devalias' will tell you).

	P.
