Hello Good Folks,


Is there a way to boot FreeBSD from a secondary disk (primairy
controller)? I mean without each time entering '1:wd(1,a)/kernel'?
I would like to make this the default. It would be even better if I
could call this from SM-DOS. (My Aztec soundcard needs some weird
initialisations to give sound). 

Regards,

     Gert
