RE: RAID 1 failure
You could download the live cd Start the computer and insert the boot cd. After it is done with booting select the option fixit and then Live cd. It will ask for the live cd. Then do the following # chroot /dist # mount_devfs devfs /dev From version FreeBSD 7 You miust use mount -t devfs devfs /dev # gmirror load In the following command replace gm0 and s1a to the name of your mirror and the name of your / slice. If you followed the howto it should be as follows # mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1a /mnt # ee /mnt/boot/loader.conf Now you can edit the loader.conf file on your mirror. So add the line: geom_mirror_load=YES now exit ee and exit the livecd # exit # exit Shutdown the installer, and reboot your system. Regards, Johan Hendriks No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: RAID 1 failure
hello Adam Unfortunately, when I boot the machine I can't see the boot menu, Unlike with my other machine running version 7.0 ang 6.0 FreeBSD there is a boot menu but with this 7.1 reelase no boot menu showed up.
