The first device primary master is the cdrom which Solaris 10 and FreeBSD were successfully installed from.  Currently Solaris 10 which is the primary slave is the default boot device.  FreeBSD is installed on the primary slave drive.  I am used to the FreeBSD install on a PC and during that install it gave time for configuring the boot loader but I can't find it on the recent Sparc FreeBSD edition?  During the partition process it says I will have the option to configure the boot loader latter.  Right now I can't boot FreeBSD and I have no idea how to configure this machine to make it dual boot?  I would like to have Solaris 10 as the primary O/S, FreeBSD as the secondary and Sparc Linux on the third hd.

Jason,

You don't need to use a boot loader with the U5, just boot to the promt
(Stop A). Then just type boot followed by the alias of the slice you
want to boot.
