[Executive summary: how do I boot from 1:wd(2,a)/kernel by default?] With any luck, this is a rather simple question (though it doesn't seem to appear in the FAQ). I have two IDE disks. The primary master has one partition, with Windows on it. The secondary master also has one partition, with FreeBSD 2.2.6. When I boot, I go through booteasy's prompts, then get to the "boot: " prompt. At the top of the screen, it says that by default, it'll boot from "0:wd(1,a)kernel" (IIRC), that is, the primary IDE slave. I want it to boot from the secondary master. If I enter "1:wd(2,a)/kernel" at the "boot: " prompt, it comes up just fine, but for obvious reasons, I don't want to have to type that in every time I boot :-( Any suggestions?
