The saga continues

[William A. Mahaffey III]

I am trying to install FreeBSD 9.3R on a new box. I want a RAID1 root, 
with several other RAID0 partitions (/var, /usr/local, & /home). All 
RAID's are created from partitions on the two 1 TB HDD's on the box. I 
am using a shell script invoked from the shell during partitioning. I 
followed this procedure, invoked the script, which apparently worked, & 
completed the install. When I went to reboot, the UEFI 'BIOS' reported 
'missing MBR record' & hung there. There were/are *no* explicit options 
to boot from a USB drive, although that worked during the install w/ 
virgin HDD's, it came up w/ a very DOS-y screen which listed 'FreeBSD' 
as a boot option. After the install, w/ something in the boot area of 
the HDD's, the option to boot from the USB drive has vanished. Is there 
some magic combo of key-strokes to get it to try to boot from the USB 
stick anyway ? I want to boot into a shell & zap the 1st 1 GB or so of 
each drive & try again, a procedure I had to use early this summer 
during a NetBSD install, which *did* work AOK & allowed me to complete a 
successful install. *Any* clues appreciated :-/. TIA & have a good one.
