--00000000000084196b05cdb13052 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Hi list, We have a system that will enumerate a list of disks and stops at "can not get information about disk unit" then it will be disk like 0xaa. The boot loader screen never comes up. An example - ... ... BIOS drive n: is disk43 BIOS drive 0: is disk44 BIOS drive p: is disk45 BIOS drive q: is disk46 can not get information about disk unit 0xaf / We are trying to upgrade a server and opted to install on OS some alternate SSD's and swap the disks to minimize downtime. System boot with 11.x OS disks installed. In the system there is an 3108 raid card with many disks, a few nvme's, then the boot disks are a pair of sata disks on a gmirror. Changing around loader.conf options for mfi/mrsas have no effect. We have an alternate mfsbsd netboot with 13.0-RELEASE and the same issue netbooting. We have a replica system (with minor differences in sas settings) that boots fine with the same netboot image. Looking at the system booted 11.x system and not finding any logs that might indicate a hardware issue. Ideas? Justin --00000000000084196b05cdb13052--
