I think all common cases have been considered here: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/update-of-the-bootcodes-for-a-gpt-scheme-x64-architecture.80163/
What I find here is a change from directory to file.
This change does not handle the directory -> file case and further work is needed.
Updating the bootcode is needed for ZFS systems only? or all upgrades from v13 to v14? And/or, only if using freebsd-update vs from source?
Yes. Due to a newer version of OpenZFS. If you have a system booting from UFS, then you don't need to update the bootcode.
From 12 to 13 and 13 to 14. So also from 12 to 14.
Both ways will get you a new ZFS version, so how you upgrade is irrelevant. Note that you only need to upgrade the bootcode IF you upgrade your boot zpool. If you don't upgrade the pool then the old bootcode will continue to work. So I recommend just finishing the FreeBSD version upgrade first and only if everything works should you upgrade the zpool (and the bootcode).
freebsd-update install one more time, because it needs shared object libraries. If ports-mgmt/pkg is not installed, you'll get an error trying to run pkg, saying, "libsssl.so.111" not found, required by pkg. portsnap is no longer in base. So, I'll have to resort to git in base, then build pkg.
Portsnap is still available, as a port/package, but yes, not included in the base anymore. No git in base either. Probably a good idea to keep a copy of the pkg package, and git-tiny perhaps?
I thought git or some git using program replaced portsnap in base for installing/upgrading ports-tree.
pkg bootstrap -f seemed to fix my problem. I went into my outdated ports directory to attempt to rebuild pkg, and it gave me this message. portsnap fetch update -I.

freebsd-update install again.. It was running without issues for a while but after some time it started throwing lots of 'File doesn't exist' errors mostly related to some man pages files. Then I rebooted the server again - it came back.. And.. Now I'm getting:
> sudo su -
ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.8" not found, required by "sudo"
su command.. ;-) I know it's embarrassing.. Prepare a 14-RELEASE installation tool to reset the root passwordHi folks,
Sorry, I'm not 100% if this is related but I think that I ran into similar issue when upgrading from 13.2-RELEASE to 14-RELEASE yesterday
I've fetched all updates first. Then rebooted and ranfreebsd-update installagain..

Now - this is the best part.. (and I know - it's stupid..) - I forgot root password.. And I cannot switch to root withsucommand.. ;-) I know it's embarrassing..
Can I ask if someone would have any suggestions on how I could fix this..?

%13.2-RELEASE (which was already at latest) to 14.0-RELEASE on ZFS. I have NOT yet upgraded the zpool. This is on a Thinkpad T430p that has served me well.
