Hello, I am trying to install 3.1-Release, and am having some difficulties.. I have no problems what so ever when I install it on an IDE drive, however when I try to install it on my SCSI drive, the HDD wont boot once the install has finished. Some facts: o The SCSI card is an Adaptec 2940, which is supported. o The driver are Seagate Cheaters. o The SCSI card dedects the drives as ID=0 and ID=1 (as configured) o The installation proceudre completed without fault. o FreeBSD is detecting the drive as da0 and da1, in previous releases(2.2.7) it had them selected as sd0 and sd1. o The slice on HDD 0 is marked at bootable. o The standrd MBR is selected (The middle option). o When the computer tries to boot is comes up with an error saying "Operating System Missing". You can do anything but reboot. Why is the HDD being marked at daX and not sdX, is this the cause for my problem? If so How do I fix it? (I've tried removing all the unnecessary config from the kernel upon installation boot up). If not what could be the problem?
