Hi, I just did two different installations of 7.0-stable on a new machine and I have some issues with the boot0 boot loader. I have two identical drives on that machine. The first two slices on the drives are supposed to be bootable and they are mirrored with gmirror: gmirror label -v -h -b load boot1 ad4s1a ad6s1a gmirror label -v -h -b load boot2 ad6s2a ad4s2a The problem I have is that I can only boot the second slice from ad6, not from ad4. boot0 does nothing when I press F2 from the menu for the first drive. I don't get any error message. It does nothing until I select another item in the menu. I can boot the first slice from either ad4 or ad6. I have tried rebuilding the raid and changing the priority of the drive with gmirror, but it didn't change anything. I also tried to remove ad6s2a from the mirror, but it didn't fix it either. To install boot0, I used: sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16 boot0cfg -B -m 0x3 -s 1 ad4 boot0cfg -B -m 0x3 -s 1 ad6 What could be causing this exactly? Thank you!
