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.

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.

Maybe one of the drives just died on you. Try booting the system with one drive at a time connecting as a master (Primary on IDE1). Let us know how it goes.

freebsd 5.3, gmirror raid 1, PROBLEM
Hi All, I've been running a server using FreeBSD 5.3 and gmirror to mirror two identical IDE hard drives. Its been running great for over a year. But recently everything went down and when I reboot and put a monitor on it I get the following errors on screen: GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider ad1 disconnected GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider mirror/gm0 destroyed GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: rebuilding provider ad0 stopped Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode... (this is followed by details about the fault) These errors are preceded by other related error information that flys by on the screen and I have no way of seeing them again. Does anyone now what steps I should take to figure what is going on and try to recover data or get the machine to boot? Thanks so much, S. - All new Yahoo!
