Make sure of the drive cabling and jumpers. I was reloading a home-grown nas the other day and the cable and jumpers gave me a bugger of a time. 7.2 would start to boot and then just hang. I unplugged everything except the harddrive on the primary and the optical drive on the secondary. After the OS was loaded, I was able move everything where I wanted. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Once it was booting I kept putting drivers back into the kernel until I found what was stopping it (device sbp in my case). You can use an external usb caddy and another machine with capability to boot from usb to do the same thing. You might have to modify /etc/fstab.
