/boot/boot2    STAGE 2 bootstrap file
Understands the FreeBSD file system enough, to find files on it, and can provide a simple interface to choose the kernel or loader to run.

Once sys is fully booted, HDD is 'ada0'.
However, STAGE 2, sees it, as a 'ad4', at boot process, which is same seen, by booted sys, when I turn off AHCI.

So, here is the riddle ...
On fully booted sys, how do I query STAGE 2, to tell me, how it'll see, my 'ada0' HDD?
