[Solved] Motherboard Replacement and ZFS RAID
-
Hello, I woke up this morning to my pfSense box down. I tested each of the components and determined it was the board. I have a second same board onhand and have replaced it with all the components back in the way they were with the former board.
I set the BIOS back to AHCI as ZFS RAID1 is configured.
Upon startup I get the following:
F1 ?
F2 FreeBSD
F5 Drive 1
F6 PXE
Boot: F5F1 ?
F2 FreeBSD
F5 Drive 2
F6 PXE
Boot: F2 ###############################################...continuously...Is this a rebuild or is the system dead?
I did backup my entire configuration after the last change but I always hold my breath when restoring. I presume this route would require simply installing pfSense again, configuring the LAN/WAN and then restoring from the past backup?
Please advise if the continuous ############## is a rebuild or if the above manual reinstall is the way to go. Thank you.

In answering my own question, I discovered that the continuous # symbols was not a rebuild and so I restarted and checked the bios. I changed from Legacy/UEFI to UEFI and the system restarted without a hitch!
A+ pfSense!!!
