Re: freebsd 5.3, gmirror raid 1, PROBLEM
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.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks, S. Hmmm... I can only suggest using a livecd, for instance freesbie. Once you boot it, fsck(8) file systems on those hard drives. Maybe it's just some consistency problem. If you have a spare freebsd box, then you could try mounting those drives on it and poke around. Or, you could even chuck those drives into another box (one at a time), boot it up and see what happens (assuming your kernel is pretty much generic). That is just to rule out busted components on current box. There must be a proper and better way for doing this though.
