It's not, and it's probably not related to your problem either.

Probably not.

To answer that we need to know things about your computer. The very
basic things are:

1. Configuration of disks (types, partitions, etc.).
2. Version of FreeBSD you're using

If you've installed FreeBSD on an IDE disk that's connected as the
master on the secondary controller, you may be able to boot by giving
1:wd(2,a)/kernel at the Boot: prompt. If your configuration differs from
that, please tell us what it is.
