install and boot on secondary master possible ? seems not...

Hello, I have a machine whose primary IDE controller is blown. Only the secondary works. So, I connected my single IDe drive as the secondary master, and proceeded to install FreeBSD. The install went flawlessly. I installed with the FreeBSD boot manager(the first choice on that screen of
