Have just one, usually on drive 0, select the OS to bott and leave it at that. I recently lost a FreBSD boot record that way. look in the handbook on restoring boot0 on your freebsd drive. If you replace it with mbr, you will be left with just the boot manager on ad0 and save yourself a headache. (The command is fdisk -B -b ad2 but you have to tell it to write a new partition table or you won't be able to boot into freebsd at all) As an aside, I have a similar setup, except it is Win2k & Freebsd 6.2 I recently had similar issues and wound up having to replace the boot record on my FreeBsd disk.

boot manager oddity (two IDE drives, two o/s)
I have two IDE drives (ad0 and ad1) on a Dell system that is running Windows XP on ad0 and FreeBSD 6.2 on ad1. Drive ad0 is 80 GB. Drive ad1 is 250 GB. When I installed FreeBSD onto ad1, I installed the FreeBSD boot manager onto both ad0 and ad1 disk drives. When the machine powers up from a cold start, I don't see the ad0 boot manager at all. I see the ad1 boot manager. It looks like this. F1 FreeBSD F5 Drive 0 and FreeBSD boots just fine if I select F1. I don't see the ad0 boot manager until I reboot FreeBSD and select F5 from the above "menu". Then I get this: F1 ??? F2 DOS F5 Drive 1 Hitting F5 gives me the expected: F1 FreeBSD F5 Drive 0 But, if I want to boot up Windows, I hit F2, and then Windows starts up. If I shut down Windows (restart), then I again see this: F1 ??? F2 DOS F5 Drive 1 But this time, when I hit F5 nothing happens!?!?!?! Here is the output of two boot0cfg(8) commands: freebsd% boot0cfg -v ad0 # flag start chs type end chs offset size 1 0x00 0: 1: 1 0xde 4:254:63 6380262 2 0x00 5: 0: 1 0x07 1023:254:6380325156151800 version=1.0 drive=0x80 mask=0xf ticks=182 options=nopacket,update,nosetdrv default_selection=F5 (Drive 1) freebsd% boot0cfg -v ad1 # flag start chs type end chs offset size 1 0x80 0: 1: 1 0xa5 1023:254:63 63524281212 version=1.0 drive=0x81 mask=0xf ticks=182 options=nopacket,update,nosetdrv default_selection=F1 (Slice 1) What I want to know is am I doing something wrong, or, am I not doing enough to configure (using the boot0cfg(8) command) the two boot managers (one on each drive)?

FreeBSD 6.x problems with IDE drives
Greetings, I've a motherboard and disk drive that have been running on older versions of FreeBSD for quite a while, reliably. Recently, I moved to FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE (and lately to 6.1-RELEASE, but it didn't help), and the system periodically shows: > ad4: FAILURE - device detached This is likely to happen under heavy I/O load (the machine serves a few dozen virtual websites, averaging 15 Mb/s sustained). Then the machine will eventually reboot. The motherboard is an MSI with an AMD 1.3 GHz CPU and 1.25GB of RAM, it has two IDE controllers, a VIA 8235, and a Promise (I can't access the machine right now to get the exact model number). The problem happens the same with either controller. I tried both UDMA100 and PIO4 modes, no difference. SMART reports a healthy drive, and as mentioned before, it didn't have problems with older versions of FreeBSD (5.4-RELEASE to be precise) and under similarly heavy load. The IDE cable was replaced, just in case, but again, no difference. Any ideas? -jav ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

When you do this you run the risk of damaging the motherboard, the drive, and/or the power supply. There are ways you can mitigate this, for example a real hot-swap cage etc., but like I said, the ATA bus was never designed to do this. Short out the +12v and/or +5v to ground on your PSU and see what happens. Does it have a protection relay circuit?, you better hope so! It's easier then you think to accidentally short one of those two wires to gnd, I've done it a few times.

I've only had to rebuild once with the 7006, and I didn't notice a performance hit during the rebuild process. The main reason I recommend and use 3ware over Adaptec is the excellent driver support and the administration utilities that are available (both CLI and web-based).

We are not using FreeBSD 5. in production, because it seems as if 5-STABLE is only now reaching the level of stability we have come to expect from FreeBSD. (It looks as if we might be able to stop using 4-STABLE when 6.0-RELEASE or 6.1-RELEASE comes out, so long as the TCP/IP stack is re-optimized and disk performance improves by then.) So, we don't have the ability to use anything that's based on the GEOM subsystem. Nonetheless, the Web page is intriguing. Will the GEOM RAID subsystem really allow the machine to run and/or boot from either drive? It looks as if the machine is instructed to do different stages of the boot from different drives, so I'm concerned that if either drive fails a reboot might fail. The ata(4) man page mentions support for RAID 1 on Promise and Highpoint (Adaptec?) RAID controllers. These tend to be less expensive than brands like 3Ware (which I'd use for RAID5 but seems like overkill for RAID 1). Have folks had good experience with these?

IDE Drives
Hello, I have a FreeBSD 4.7 box. It has a promise raid card supporting two drives in a mirrored config. It has two drives on the IDE bus. I had to physically move the motherboard to a different case. In the old case config, the drives were connected to a ATA card to get over the 137g limit and one to the motherboard. I now connected both to the ATA card. The drives were AD1 and AD9. Now they are AD9 and AD11. I can not mount the AD11. I have done a fdisk to make sure it is on ad11: 03 DING! /etc > fdisk /dev/ad11 *** Working on device /dev/ad11 *** parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=24792 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=24792 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 398283417 (194474 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: The data for partition 3 is: The data for partition 4 is: I can’t fsck /dev/ad11s1 nor mount it.
