How to boot after a Freebsd 5.3 install

[Yann CUEFF]

Hello,

I've installed FreeBSD 5.3 on an external ultra scsi drive.
To boot I use a devalias:

boot freebsd

where freebsd  =  /pci at 1f,0/pci at 1/scsi at 1,1/disk at 3,0:a

ok probe-scsi-all

/pci at 1f,0/pci at 1/scsi at 1,1

/pci at 1f,0/pci at 1/scsi at 1
Target 3
  Unit 0   Disk   SEAGATE STXXXXXSUN18G 034 A

perhaps the good devalias is
freebsd = /pci at 1f,0/pci at 1/scsi at 1/disk at 3,0:a


My / partition is "a"

I can't test no more because i'm installing gentoo sparc on my ultra5.
If someone could tell me what devalias i should use I will reinstall freebsd 
and will try to boot it

Regards,

Yann
