I have a question about what to type in on the boot?

My config is:

IDE controller 1
disk 1 (bios says Hard disk 0)(bsd wd0)
disk 2 (bios shows CD-ROM    )(bsd wcd0)
IDE controller 2
disk 3 (bios says Hard disk 1)(bsd wd2)
disk 4 (bios says Hard disk 2)(bsd wd3)(This is the one I want to boot)

I thought maybe

2:wd(3,a)/kernel

but this does not work.
