Hi everybody.

I've just upgraded a box from FreeBSD 9 to 9.1 via freebsd-update.

At the first reboot, the machine stopped with messages about GRAID :

GEOM_RAID: Promise: Subdisk kjihgfedcba`_^]\[ZYXWVUTSRQPONM:0-ada0 state
changed from NONE to ACTIVE

The trick is that I've never setup any kind of RAID on that old box...

Is there a way to completely disable GEOM_RAID loading on boot ?

Here are the obligatory blurry-cellphone-pictures of the boot messages :

The motherboard is an old GA-8IG100MK, fitted with two supplementary
3com NICs.

The specs can be found here :

  - Intel® 82801EB

  - Realtek ALC655 CODEC

TIA,
