I wiped the MBR from the other HDD.  If I physically disconnect the
drive with kFreeBSD on it, the machine does not boot at all.

This is a cool idea, I tried it out (really thought this one would fix
it, as it makes perfect sense) but the behaviour remained the same.

Thanks for the help Martin.  I might try using the Linux disk as the
master later on this week and see if I can get anywhere with that.
