First boot question

Hello,

Is it possible to boot FreeBSD from an external drive (Firewire)? How 
about a second internal drive (IDE)? The iso_install.txt file uses the 
following example:

0 > boot cd:,\boot\loader hd:11

"hd" appears to be a device alias for disk0. My question is how to 
specify disk1 or a Firewire drive?

Thanks,

--David
