Mark,

First I'll suggest that while FreeBSD automagically addes filesystems
that it is far better to add them to the table of disks to be mounted.
It's been long enough since I added all of my filesystems there that
I just Don't remember if fsck ran on them as I booted or not. It is
an _Extremly_Good_Idea_ to have them check each time they are mounted
just to make sure that nothing _Strange_ has happened to them. 

In that there is no other BSD partition, you should probably relabel
the second disk so that the BSD partition is the a: slice. This may
well be the root of the problem that I gather that you are having. 


... ok, my 2.cents
