	I have recently installed FreeBSD 2.0 on my system.  I originally
wanted to install it on my first HD, but OS-BS didn't like that --anybody
figured out that one?-- so I had to install it on wd1.  Well, it's
working now, but I'd like to make wd(1,a)/kernel the default boot
destination.  The READMEs say that I will need to recompile the boot
blocks.  Well, I am a free unix newbie so....how do I do it? Are there
any step-by-step instructions on how to fix this? 
Thanx in advance...
