If you get a chance, can you give some details about what sort of output you get when you reboot and ad0 is not found? Specificially, I'm interested to know if it sees atapci0, and if it sees the drive at all, but just cannot talk to it, etc. A complete transcript of a failing verbose reboot would be helpeful. As to how to do this: "shutdown -r now" ... when you see the "booting kernel in 10..9..8..7..6" break into the bootloader by hitting the space bar. then say "boot -v" Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
