It's in the index, under "FBE."

FBE (FRIENDLY Board Edge; the mapboard configuration's edge along which FRIENDLY units normally enter; the players should be seated with this edge nearest to them. For the sake of convenience, the FBE is always considered the west edge of the mapboard configuration): A20.53 [in ABtF: SSR15] [in PB: SSR PB11]

A20.53: ...Unless defined otherwise by SSR, a Friendly Board Edge is one from which that side's forces entered the game. If a side's forces set up on board and have received no reinforcements, its Friendly Board Edge is any side it was allowed to set up in front of with no enemy units between its forces and that board edge and through which no enemy units have entered.

Note that this defintion in the Index only applies Solotaire ASL.

FBE (FRIENDLY Board Edge; in SASL, the mapboard configuration’s edge along which FRIENDLY units normally enter; the player should be seated with this edge nearest to them. For the sake of convenience, the FBE is always considered the west edge of the mapboard configuration): A20.53 [in ABtF: SSR15] [in PB: SSR PB11]

Errata from ASL Journal 7:
FBE: In line 1 of the definition of “FBE” after “Edge;” add “in SASL,”
