Have you installed FreeBSD onto an EIDE disk that's connected as the
master to the secondary controller? If so, give 1:wd(2,a)/kernel at the
Boot: prompt. If it's installed on a SCSI disk in a system that also has
an EIDE disk, give 1:sd(0,a)/kernel at the boot prompt.

Otherwise, please supply more details about your setup, and also search
the archives on http://www.freebsd.org, as this has been addressed many
times in the past.
