I have just installed FreeBSD and have a few questions.
I installed the system on my 2nd hard drive, and when booting,
it cannot find the correct drive to boot from. I retype wd(1,a)/386bsd
to start it. (from wd(0,a)/386bsd. I know this problem has been
tackled before, but I missed the postings. Also I just picked up the 
end bit of some postings related to mounting an unlabled hard drive. 
I would like to mount my first hard drive and if possible could
someone send me the relevant info on how to do this.

Thanks alan
