Lenovo T520
I have freebsd installed on a SSD (not that it matters), using zfs and Boot Environments (BE).
I created a test BE, called TEST. changed a variable to test it out, just in case. It locks the system up as soon as I hit enter at the boot menu.
Been tinkering with option 2, and the ESC key to drop to an emergency shell. I can set/unset every variable, except the one I need. I can change every ENV setting to point to a safe BE.
The entry I am unable to edit
zfs_be_active=zfs:<be>/ROOT/TEST
If I change everything I need to change, but typing "boot", it uses the bad BE.
If I reboot to try and get to a good BE, all edits are lost.
Not sure how to make changes permanent through a reboot, or force the active_be to change.
Any tricks, tips, pointers, etc would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
