When I installed my FreeBSD on my second disk, I just unplugged the first disk that I had. Then, I rebuilt the kernel to have swap and root on sd1. Then I plugged the first disk back in and hacked LILO to boot off the second disk. It even boots FreeBSD by default now. I think that the rebuild the kernel step is no longer needed, but I could be wrong. I was up and running in a matter of hours (once the hardware problems that I was having were fixed, but that is another story). I agree that it should be easier to do this.
