BSDI was nice enough to answer this question for me, so I'll return the favor
by repeating it for you and any other readers.  

From the boot(8) man page:

     To make a floppy that boots straight to BSD/OS on a hard disk, make a
     copy of your distribution boot floppy, and in the copy, put a line like

           wd(0,0)/bsd

     in the file /etc/boot.default. Replace wd with sd if you have a SCSI main
     disk; change the unit numbers as needed.
