Hmm, that's odd. Could you show us the output of the following: At the boot> prompt (if you can get there): machine diskinfo In bsd.rd: fdisk sd0 disklabel sd0 fdisk sd3 disklabel sd3 bioctl softraid0 And also instalboot's verbose messages: /mnt/usr/sbin/installboot -v -r /mnt sd3 Another thing you could try to narrow down the problem is using a passphrase instead of a key disk. Does that work?
