Hello FreeBSD'ers,

Got a problem installing the 2nd hard drive on FreeBSD v1.0 --
it won't.  
What happens is I disklabel the drive (this works, i think) 
and newfs it (this works too), fsck will complain that the
boot table is corrupt.  A second fsck goes thru just fine. 
I can even mount it, and r/w files to this drive.  After a
reboot, fsck will fail (first time) and works second time
(mount manually).  This all worked for some time with
NetBSD 0.8.  Both hard drives are IDE and the os "sees"	
the 2nd hard drive as wd1.  (yes, i use the FAQ's procedure).
Any one else seen this problem???
