You need "1:sd(0,a)/kernel". The "1" says that it's BIOS drive 1.
I don't think this is documented :(

If you installed the bootblocks on the second drive, you should have
an F5 option at boot up. If you select this, it should give you an
option of BSD on the scsi disk (or F5 back to disk 0). I havn't needed
to try this myself, so I'm not sure ;)
