Booteasy must be installed on the first disk in the system.  You can fetch
boot.bin and bootinst.exe from where you got FreeBSD (in tools/) and run
it on your first disk.  Don't do this if you have OnTrack or some
translation software running.

Also, run FDISK and reset the active flag to a partition on your first
disk.
