multi-boot

I have a system with two physical disks with a version of FreeBSD installed on 
each disk. With various 7.x systems I had:

   F1 disk1 on slices ads5x
   F5 disk2 on slices ads6x

I installed 8.2 on disk2, incorrectly saying leave the mbr alone. So when I boot 
from the second disk I get

   F6 PXE
   Boot:  F1

I can then hit F1 or wait and all goes okay. I tried using sysinstall to rewrite 
the FBSD boot manager but that not effect any change. Must I rewrite the mbr on 
disk 1 also?
