I recently added a SCSI drive (IBM Ultrastar 9GB and adaptec 2940U2W
controller) to a functioning FreeBSD installation which was booting
off a IDE drive. Now, when the machine boots, it sits at the
"F1 FreeBSD" prompt (which now has a F5 option as well, I think). Hitting
F1 or enter doesn't do anything (just repeats the prompt), but hitting F5,
then F1, then enter, causes the boot to proceed. It didn't use to do this,
and used to time out and continue the boot if nobody was around to hit a
key. After this point, all is normal, but on reboot, the same thing happens
again.
The machine was installed with FreeBSD 3.3 to begin with (network install)
with the "compatibility mode" disk partitioning scheme for the IDE disk.
How do I get this back to working normally so it can be rebooted without
keyboard intervention? Any advice is appreciated.
