is it possible to boot FreeBSD from the second (slave) IDE disk using
fbsdboot.exe?

I Have installed freeBSD in this disk strapped as master, but now I'd like
to use it as slave.

The fbsdboot.exe boots the kernel from the dos partition, but then
it does not seem to see the FreeBSD filesystem in the slave disk.

Does anybody know how to boot?
Thank you.
