Which disk devices boot on Sun Fire X4500?

Hi folks,

Another quick question regarding FreeBSD on the X4500...

Does anyone know off the top of their head the device nodes that correspond
to the two bootable disks on the Sun Fire X4500 (slot 0 and slot 1) aka SATA
06C0 S00 and SATA 06C4 S01 in the BIOS? I'm thinking in the analogous sense
to /dev/sdy and /dev/sdac in Linux per Sun's documentation [1].

I did the facile thing and installed to /dev/ada0 and /dev/ada1 (mirrored 
ZFS) and they do not seem to be the ones that the system is trying to boot 
from.

Thanks,

-Sean
