Hi guys, after upgrading to 14.2 I got this weird message at boot...

Than it goes to the regular bootloader .

Is there anything I can do to fix it or to upgrade my bootloader ?

Code: 
uname -a
FreeBSD dbsd 14.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE releng/14.2-n269506-c8918d6c7412 GENERIC amd64

Thanks... 🙏
 
From the forum search I couldn't find any post but from DDG I found other similar issues... 🤷‍♂️

Thread 'Loader needs to be updated (14-STABLE)'

Every time I update FreeBSD 14-STABLE from source, the Beastie Menu contains a line stating "Loader needs to be updated".

Having read https://www.freebsd.org/releases/14.0R/relnotes/ this is what I do (/boot/efi is mounted by default):

Code: 
# efibootmgr -v
[truncated]
+Boot0000* FreeBSD HD(1,GPT,5e3e3d6d-f486-11ee-8ac6-a820661e35b1,0x28,0x82000)/File(\efi\freebsd\loader.efi)
                      gpt/efiboot0:/efi/freebsd/loader.efi /boot/efi//efi/freebsd/loader.efi
[truncated]

So this should do the deed:

Code: 
# cp -a /boot/loader.efi /boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi
# cp -a /boot/loader.efi...

This is what I did:

Code: 
# user: root
# Mount the efi partition, it's probably already in fstab and getting mounted on /boot/efi. But if you have multiple disks you will have to mount each individual disk separately.
# Do this on the running system, preferably before or right after the zpool upgrade command to upgrade the pools. Or update the boot code right after an update/upgrade of the OS.

cp /boot/loader.efi /boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi
cp /boot/loader.efi /boot/efi/efi/boot/bootx64.efi

I don't understand why this stuff aren't performed automatically. Isn't it the scope of computers to perform repetitive tasks? 🤷‍♂️
