Okay, so I've seen this error many times and its cause has always been clear.
In this case I'm stumped. I've got a 3U SuperMicro server with 16 drives hooked
up to two 3Ware controllers. The drives are configured into two logical drives
da0 and da1. I've installed a FreeBSD 8.0 OS on da0 but
operating system
If you have only one OS and do not care for boot manager just to boot to BSD -
try this:
1. Make sure the correct partition is 'active':
# fdisk -u /dev/da0
2. Install plain MBR boot code:
# fdisk -B -b /boot/mbr
3. Reboot

Okay
U can safely use the sysinstall to go to fdisk to view the partition table.
There set bootable yes
press 'w' to write
answer if u want boot mgr or not
should help.

No expert on this; but I suspect the BIOS is looking for the OS
on the newly setup raid.
If this is the case you could see what boot options there are in
the BIOS settings. If that doesn't go anywhere you
/ar0s1e /vol1 ufs rw 2 2
I reboot:

Where did I go wrong and what should I do now?
You haven't touched the original boot drive as far as I can see, so
the first thing to try is to adjust the BIOS to try booting that drive
before the RAID array

I've given up on 4.9-R and tried 5.2.1-R, which is working fine.

the whole installation process goes smooth, but upon reboot, I simply get
'Missing Operating System'.
I usually see this sort of thing when I forget to remove a non-bootable
floppy from the drive.

I've googled for this, and searched the archives, but there is too much
garbage about other operating systems interfering. I have found references
to the auto-detected logical geometry being wrong. I see no user
configurable options about c/h/s in the adaptec bios

I am trying to install FreeBSD on a compact flash drive. The drive manual
says the drive geometry is 250880 sectors, 8 heads, 32 sectors per track,
and 980 cylinders. The BIOS for the computer reports drive geometry as
980/8/32 C/H/S.
I read somewhere that this problem generally indicates a
