My setup is a HP Proliant Microserver where my boot pool consist of two mirrored usb drives.
I had to restart it and now it does not boot anymore without any error - just a black screen with a blinking cursor.
My server normally runs 24/7 and whenever a boot device has too many error I replace it with a new one.
This happened several times. At the beginning there was also an old SATA drive part of this pool which was replaced (long time ago)
In the past I had a similar issue and the fix was that I just changed the boot device in BIOS from one usb to another. This doesn't work anymore.
I have a copy of my config file saved but I really don't want to install everything again because there will definitely problems.
I have the feeling that there is some issue with booting freenas from a mirrored boot device. If I recall it correctly the times where my 'fix' worked was always when the 'original' boot device was still part of the boot pool. This is not the case anymore.
I really appreciate any help.
