Finally the problem is not related to this server. I did a fresh install = in another server "that didn't have the same issue" and it finally has = the same issue. As you can see in my previous messages I install bootcode in first disk = while in mfsbsd 11.0: gpart bootcode -b /mnt/boot/pmbr -p /mnt/boot/gptboot -i 1 ada0 and when I finish the installation and reboot in FreeBSD 11.1 I install = the bootcode for 2nd disk: gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /mnt/boot/gptboot -i 1 ada1 This way the problem exist. But if I install bootcode for both disks while in mfsbsd 11.0 then I can = boot from both disks: gpart bootcode -b /mnt/boot/pmbr -p /mnt/boot/gptboot -i 1 ada0 gpart bootcode -b /mnt/boot/pmbr -p /mnt/boot/gptboot -i 1 ada1 So my conclusion is that I can install the bootcode during the = installation from mfsbsd 11.0 but not from freebsd 11.1 The mfsbsd version is: FreeBSD rescue 11.0-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p1 #0 r306420: Thu = Sep 29 01:43:23 UTC 2016 = root@releng2.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 But if I don't install the bootcode on 2nd disk during the installation = from mfsbsd and after the installation boot on mfsbsd again and run: mount /dev/ada0p2 /mnt gpart bootcode -b /mnt/boot/pmbr -p /mnt/boot/gptboot -i 1 ada1 then it doesn't boot from second disk. So the question is why it works if I install bootcode during the = installation using mfsbsd but not after I reboot back in mfsbsd?
