Cant boot Freenas now

[pw98]

Ok, bear with me. 24 hour virgin to freenas 8.2.0 beta 1 (I think).

I have a Dell precision 360. 2Gb of Ram.
A IDE C drive 10.5Gb with freenas installed and 2 (brand new) SATA 3Tb seagate drives connected.

ALL was working well (configured as a mirroed NAS). and I left the pc on over night.

this morning I configured 2 users and started to move some files across from an XP machine. I have moved 4.4Gb when XP reported a "tree too deep" or something similar error. The copy stopped.
then one of the disks I do not know which 1 of the three started beeping.
Freenas on the console screen reported lost of ada1. (the 1st sata disk).
checking the disk setup on the gui and this disk had a long randon name. I could not edit it, only offline or "replace"?
I offlined it.

Now without changing anything (or the bios) freenas will not boot.
Pc reported Freenas is not a boot disk.

If I remove the 2 sata disks. Freenas will boot.
If either of the sata disks are connected freenas will not boot.

This is a ordering problem in BIOS. Configure it so IDE is the first one in the list to boot

This is what I thought - but (a) why/How has it changed? and what of the loss of disk1?

By the way if i go into th bios. the boot sequence is Hard disk Drive C. all other options Interated NIC, IDE CDROM and Diskette drive are disabled.

If I select F12 (boot menu) on POST and select IDE drive it just throws me into the Bios.

ok, used the F12 POST option on the Dell and the disks all 3 pass. If I select boot Drive C it throws me to the bios. If I select Primary Master Drive as the boot from the menu it boots Freenas,

a zpool status RAIDZ shows:

status: One or more devices could not opened. Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue functioning in a degraded status.
