I am a newbie using freebsd and have run into a problem on a new install on a dell poweredge 6650. I am installing to a hardeware raid 1 on an LSI Logic raid controller. The installation appears to go well but after a reboot the freebsd boot manager comes up with F1 to boot Freebsd (or default) and then it complains of no boot loader followed by a "no /boot/kernel/kernel" error. The default boot parameter is 0:ad(0,d)/boot/kernel/kernel I've tried different slices with the same results. I have tried using the MBR instead of the freebsd boot manager. I have tried different bios settings on the raid card (LSI logic in the poweredge 6650). I'm not really sure what to try next. I've even tried to install it on a different machine on a single sata drive with the same result. I am obviously doing something wrong but I can't for the life of me figure out what it is. Thank you for any help or direction you can provide. Craig Russell
