Yesterday I added an extra DIMM to my machine and since then I've been
unable to boot to the second drive.  I actually have 2 IBM Deskstar 40GB
drives installed with -stable and 4.6-RELEASE on the second and I use
the FreeBSD boot manager to control these things.  Disk one boots okay
but disk two goes through the bootloader before dying with these
messages:


Disk Error 0x10  (lba0x4f)
Disk Error 0x10  (lba0x4f)

No /boot/loader

>>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default:  1:ad(1,a)/kernel
boot:
Disk Error 0x10  (lba0x4f)
no /kernel

>>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default:  1:ad(1,a)/kernel
boot:

Then it awaits my instructions.

I've booted from a fixit CD and reinstalled the MBR but it didn't help
(the loader worked before hand anyway).  If I try and mount the slice it
dies with an "Input/output error"

I grounded myself before opening the machine and also gave the heatsink
etc. a little dust.  I've looked again and made sure the cables are
still firmly attached too.

Anyone want to tell me just what I've done?

TIA
Kevin
