Are you getting the fbsd booloader selection (F1, F2 and so on)? 2. if you are, can you hit spacebar then type boot -c to load the module configuration screen before going into the full boot. If you get this far you need to select /deselect drivers appropriately for the cards being swapped 3. once you've done that there are probably some config files that need hand editing, but Ive never used RAID just ordinary SCSI. /etc/fstab should still look the same if it's still possible to keep the drives as they are without any kind of reinstall, dont know about anything, im just trying to throw up suggestions Also dont know if you'll be able to get this far from a normal boot or if you'll need the fixit floppy or something like that just to get into files onthe hdd to edit them hope this gets things moving a little jeanmark jmdupoux_@_lineone.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
