Ok, then I should be OK on this part.

I installed the boot loader on ad3 when I was first setting up FreeBSD.
I added it to my first drive later, using an online example.
However, I'm pretty certain that somewhere along the way I did something
wrong. So, if someone can start me from the beginning, how do I remove
the current boot loaders from both partitions, and add them back
correctly?
Here is my current fstab:
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
/dev/ad3s1b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/ad3s2a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/ad3s2g /home ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad3s2e /tmp ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad3s2f /usr ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad3s2d /var ufs rw 2 2
/dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0

Well, I do have IDE RAID on that motherboad, but its not involved with
either of the boot devices (its strictly for archives).
Thanks again,
