Connected the Kingston SSD with the new cable and it got recognized immediately.=20 Anyway, I booted, but still hit the wrong disk (with F5 which was = preset). I hit F1. Got into the FreeBSD boot(8) prompt >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a) boot: After some fiddling - ? gave me a directory listing but could not much = do with that - I found that everything I typed, like lsdev, ended up in being appended to the Default line, like: Default: 0:ad(0,a)lsdev So I type /boot/loader and - voila - I hit it, landed exactly in the = desired disk/partition. Now I got to figure out the UUID labeling thing - maybe :) =E2=80=94 Christoph > Am 06.05.2020 um 18:43 schrieb David Christensen = : >=20 > On 2020-05-06 02:56, Christoph Kukulies wrote: >> Since yesterday, when I ran smartcontrol against my drives - don=E2=80=99= t know whether it has to do with that but I=E2=80=99m mentioning it just = FWIW - >> my Kingston 240 GB SSD suddenly was no longer visible in the ASRock = MB=E2=80=992 BIOS.
