You can also rewrite the boot code for freebsd to look at the bios id of your intended boot disk if they are not on the same disk. The process was outlined in pretty good detail by someone and I seem to recall finding it in the mailing list archives. Maybe someone who has the info at hand could expand. If not, I'll dig up my documentation and provide it for you.
