RAID replicates the data in the RAIDed area, yes? Do you have some reason to believe that the boot information (MBR, etc) is _inside_ the RAID area, because I do not believe that. Really feels like installboot needs to be run on this drive to, uh, install the proper boot info. Philip Guenther

Turns out this machine, for some reason, simply cannot boot of SSDs with neither OpenBSD or FreeBSD on the box. Only spinning drives work. It's an old Dell Inc. OptiPlex 980. I suspect there is some issue with the BIOS of the machine and the BSD bootloaders as Linux with GRUB works on SSDs.

My last response to Otto seems to have had a lot of noise appended. I replied via gmail, which seems to have added all sorts of things, as my own SPF/DMARC rules seem too strict, and seem to stop the mailing list relaying. Will review. Humbly, Steve

Also, if I boot from a USB stick, with only the new SSD attached, the softraid is registered as degraded (as the other old disk is missing), so it has been populated, and the partition is also marked with an asterisk for boot, but I still cannot boot from that drive.
