The BIOS disk number 0x82 doesn't give the boot loader a clue on how
to find that this is sd1.  (It could have been sd0 or wd2 as well.)

You can try to wire your second SCSI disk down to the name ``sd2'' in
FreeBSD (the other one will be sd3 then automatically).  Have a look
at /sys/i386/conf/LINT for comments on SCSI device wiring.
