Having been unsuccessful in replacing a disc which died in my array I decided that I would just build an entirely new system however for the life of me I am stuck even before the beginning and would appreciate some advice.
I am intending to utilise a spare 60GB SSD, same as my original system, for the Freenas installation. I have six brand new Western Digital 3TB Red drives installed for the array though they are currently not connected with SATA cables, power is connected however.
I have downloaded the latest release of Freenas and burnt the ISO to a USB with 'ISO to USB', actually I have burnt it to three different USBs. When I start the system the USB with the Freenas installation on it and the SSD show in the bios. However whenever I try to boot the only thing that occurs is that 'GRUB' shows in the top left of my screen with a flashing cursor next to it. Doesn't matter what I did it never progresses.
Any advice?
