Which won't work.  The FreeBSD boot loader, at least last I checked,
is too stupid to know that there might be more than one FreeBSD slice
on the disk and it just stops at the first one it finds.  If you want
to run different versions of FreeBSD on the same box, they at least
need to reside on physically different drives.
