It's been a while--but if you're saying you removed the drive that fbsd
sees and you installed on, and the system still boots, then you indeed
have a raid array with 2 drives, ie a mirror. Or you _had_ an array. You
now have a broken mirror. Please post a new dmesg.

Also noticed from your original dmesg:

ccd0-3: Concatenated disk drivers

which I've never used but makes me suspicious. ;-)

iirc compaq 800's have a separate raid configuration utility for
managing a hardware array. Check the HP/Compaq site and you may find it
for d/l.

And freebsd (looked like it)  installed on the Seagate/Compaq drive?

Hopefully I'm not missing something obvious, but seems to me you've
broken the mirror by removing a drive and will have to rebuild it using
compaq's raid utility. See if you can find it.
