Hello, I had 4.9 release working and did a clean install of 5.1 release over the 4.9 and ended up with boot failure after install. Using allBSD partition and standard MBR I get a missing operating system error. If I use the FreeBSD boot I just get "default F1" and a beep. Now trying to install the 4.9 gives the same results. I'm using a Mylex DAC960ptl (accelraid 250) with the primary disk setup as JBOD. I set the bootable disk as active but everytime I go back to config fdisk the flag is not set. I then upgraded and flashed the RAID card, reformatted the disks and tried a 4.9 install, again with the same results. Is there an issue with the DAC card geometry or BIOS? Or a subtle quirk that isn't documented yet? thanks, Dan
