(Solved)Cannot select default drive for boot

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have a Z87 Pro4 P2.30 with an Intel Core i7-4771. I have repurposed this aging machine as a FreeNAS server and it works fine but I cannot get the system to boot from my boot drive by default. I have to press F11 and select the drive.

I have a Seagate Momentus 7200 boot drive: model ST9250410AS. For storage I have 4x Hitachi Ultrastar HDS72404 4TB drives connected to an LSI MegaRAID SAS 9270-8i controller.

My FreeNAS system is working great but it won't boot from the Seagate.

When my system boots it looks like this:

And then fails.

If I press F11 on the second image above, I see this:

And it boots fine.

When I go into the BIOS, I see this in the Boot section:

And this in Advanced section:

Any ideas on how to get it to boot from the Seagate as the default drive?

	I fixed it by selecting Hard Drive BBS Priorities in the Boot section and my drive shows up in there. I can then select it as Boot Option #1.
