Must root be on slice 'a'?
http://geodsoft.com/howto/dualboot/freebsd.htm writes this:To install a new FreeBSD system, you must create a new '/' file system at a minimum. If you do this in a slice with an existing '/' partition the previous system will become inaccessible. You can normally tell that there is a previous '/' mounted in the current slice, if any existing partition name ends in an 'a'. Does this imply that I must rename my slices, that I can't boot from /dev/ad1s3e ?

Root always must be label a. You don't have to change slices. But you can compile something different in the kernel: options ROOTDEVNAME=\ufs:da0s2e\ If the bootloader will not accept 2:ad(2,e), I don't think it matters what I compile into the kernel. AFAIK it should bee possible to also change the root device in 1st bootstage See man (8) boot I used disklabel to rename the slices, so now I have booted from the new root.

(Also if anyone knows of a bridge that can support multiple IDE drives, that would be pretty cool too) http://www.acard.com/eng/product/scside/ars-2120.html supports two drives. http://www.acard.com/eng/product/box/aec-8001.html appearently supports 4 or 8 drives.
