Install Booteasy on the first disk.  FreeBSD's sysinstall is a bit stupid
when it comes to doing the Right Thing when installing Booteasy -- if you
install on the second disk, that's where it goes.

Follow these simple instructions:

1.  copy bootinst.exe and boot.bin off the CDROM or ftp site from /tools
to your hard disk
2.  run bootinst
3.  Reboot and use.

Hope this helps.
