Hi Peter,

FWIW, I'm also having this same issue on a PE R740xd2 server with the BOSS-=
S1.=20

In my particular case, I have the BOSS (in JBOD) and a H730P PERC (in HBA
mode)installed. I wanted to replace the latter with an HBA330 as I can't
encrypt the disks at the disk level (they're SEDs) without the PERC locking
them out and not passing them through to the OS on power cycle.=20

Anyway, with the HBA installed the system partially boots and then fails, b=
ut
it does just fine with the RAID card put back in.=20

If I try to do a fresh install with the HBA in then I can't see the BOSS ca=
rds
at all, so can't install to them. With the RAID card in there's no problem.=
=20

If I firmware patch the BOSS to latest the system just doesn't boot at all
regardless of which card I have in.=20

Quite what this all means I don't know. I'm not sure if it's a driver issue=
s in
FreeNAS or if Dell are breaking things. I suspect a little bit of A and a
little bit of B.=20

That being said, I have been told by Dell that one of their engineers has
managed to get a test system of theirs set up running the latest BOSS firmw=
are
and FreeNAS 11.3. Seems to me they have the BOSS in a RAID 1 and the legacy
BIOS option set.=20

Once verified I will repost here.
