Well, after proceeding and escaping to the shell I entered "disklabel sd0". The message was: "disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Operation not supported by device".

And no message from the kernel ?

There are only the usual boot messages regarding the devices like NIC and graphic card which seem OK.


Seems to me as if the HD is somehow infunctional.

Yes, I fear this disk is dead. Even if it starts stopped, the kernel
should send a start unit command on first read. I suspect the drive
really can't be started.


I try another one I still have just to be sure it is the HD and - hopefully - not the SCA connector.

Thanks again

Frank
