Right here.

Try swapping the FreeBSd disk to the master postition then follow these
instructions.

 If you get the message:
panic: Cannot mount root

At the end of the probe sequence you should either:
1. Have the line:
config kernel root on wd2

in your kernel config,
OR:

2. Rename the second disk to wd1 in the kernel config (comment out the 
original wd1 line and change the wd2 line to read wd1, leaving all other 
parameters unchanged).
