I have one system  (11.1 generic installed via freebsd-update) that =
gives the message:

Dec  6 18:31:24 Backup kernel: FAILED

as the last message at the end of the boot process.  Messages from ports =
starting all precede it.  Digging through the kernel source, the only =
places I find such a message are:

./geom/raid/g_raid.c:		return ("FAILED");
./geom/raid/g_raid.c:		return ("FAILED");
./geom/raid/g_raid.c:		return ("FAILED");

This seems a bit odd as there is no raid hardware or software being used =
on this system.  The system completes the boot process, although it =
seems quite slow to do so, and then runs just fine.  I don't see any =
issues with the system.  Everything seems to work.  Any ideas how to =
figure out what is causing that error message?
