As to the install, the install script seems to have wd0 hard.coded into it (or if its a define, it wasn't clear to me when I was trying to hack it), so on that basis, I'll suggest moving the drive that you want your BSD on to the 0 position and doing the basic work... and then moving it back to where you want it to live. ........................................................
