I while back I updated this server and it will not boot now. Has fd0 read error. 
It has 2-500 gig drives in Raid configuration. 
It boots to the error, then the grub screen shows and then the screen goes blank. 
Live cd works fine. 
Trying to do a boot repair, but not getting there??? 
Any thoughts???
