Having what looks like a boot block issue with FreeBSD 12.2 .
Trying to install FreeBSD12.2
on a Supermicro X10SL7-F with a 4 TB SAS Seagate Exos ST4000NM004A. I am
able to install the FreeBSD OS using GPT but the boot block seem to be comprimised .
I was installing this drive with an active Windows 10 on a 300GB SAS
drive already in place.
Any know fixes?

gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptboot -i 1 adaN
should put both boot blocks back. But be careful to specify the correct
drive or you will hose the Windows system!

I think I will unplug the Windows drive from the system.
And still no dice.
So what is happening?
I did install the gpart as instructed and yet again
The drive attempts to start and then
pow - stop - reboot.
I am using UFS (1 drive )
.
Just wondering is anyone has an issue because the drive
might be saying too little power to work with?
