Not sure if this is already written up somewhere, but after just spending
awhile digging up the info, I've placed a howto on making a diskette that
allows booting FreeBSD from any hard drive visible to the BIOS at

  http://www.vailsys.com/bsd/booter.html

I needed it because I couldn't get bootEasy to find the second hard
drive, did not want custom startup files on the first drive, and needed
a system capable of unattended reboot.  Feedback is welcome.
