Hi, The machine won't boot from either drive connected as a master. I tried them one at a time. I'm guessing I'll have to boot from a CD but don't know the process. Any help is appreciated.

Its been running great for over a year. But recently everything went down and when I reboot and put a monitor on it I get the following errors on screen: > > GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider ad1 disconnected > GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider mirror/gm0 destroyed > GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: rebuilding provider ad0 stopped > > Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode...

Maybe one of the drives just died on you. Try booting the system with one drive at a time connecting as a master (Primary on IDE1). Let us know how it goes.
