I figured this out. Here was the problem: I put a USB keychain drive on my box and F5 was pointing to that. When I removed the USB device, F5 booted off my 3Ware card, as desired. I am guessing that if I leave the USB drive in, redo boot0cfg on Drive 1, then my boot menu (on Drive 1) would have something like this: F1: ?? (windoze) F2: FreeBSD F4: Drive 2 (USB drive) F5: Drive 3 (3Ware RAID card) Rudy >> I did a cvsup & made a new kernel & world on August 9th but now I can't boot. >> >> This was on my second drive. When I boot, I get this menu: >> >> F1: ?? >> F2: FreeBSD (old, May 31st FreeBSD 6.0 CURRENT) >> F5: Drive 2 (newer, Aug 9th FreeBSD - CURRENT) >> >> F2 works fine. F5 _used_ to go to my other drive and boot FreeBSD just fine. I have updated along the CURRENT branch many times, so I sort of know what I am doing ;)
