I figured this out. Here was the problem:
I put a USB keychain drive on my box and F5 was pointing to that.
When I removed the USB device, F5 booted off my 3Ware card, as desired.
I am guessing that if I leave the USB drive in, redo boot0cfg on Drive
1, then my boot menu (on Drive 1) would have something like this:
F1: ?? (windoze)
F2: FreeBSD
F4: Drive 2 (USB drive)
F5: Drive 3 (3Ware RAID card)

sort of know what I am doing ;)
