Hey there, folks. I just installed 4.9 on a 8 x 4.3GB SCSI disk AMI MegaRAID array (RAID 5, 30GB). The card's a HP NetRAID (aka AMI/LSI Enterprise 1200 or Series 428). I set up slices as I have previously with 30GB+ IDE drives: 1GB swap 29GB / Fdisk, label and the rest of install went fine, but on reboot I get the following error: Disk error 0x1 (lba=0x21fc09f) No /boot/loader >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel boot: If I hit enter, it spits out this error: WARNING: loader(8) metadata is missing! and starts the boot process. After finding all the devices, including the RAID controller (amr0) and the logical drive (amrd0), it displays a 'mountroot>' prompt. If I give it the logical drive slice a: (ufs:/dev/amrd0s1a) it finishes the boot. I've read a bit about the root fs needing to be in the first 1024 cylinders, but I've used this setup plenty of times on larger IDE drives. What am I doing wrong this time? Thanks, Brad
