Hi all,
I updated a NAS running v11.2 using the freebsd-update tool, something I've done many times in the past without problem, only this time the 11.2 OS was installed on ZFS root, if that makes any difference (which shouldn't, according to this post (didn't want to further hijack that thread).
Alas, the box won't reboot, stops at the BTX loader. I tried booting from a FreeBSD USB stick, but the same thing happens: drives C through H are listed and then it simply hangs.
I tried booting from a USB stick with Linux Mint installed. That worked, and the gparted tool displays the HDDs and their partitions on the NAS.
Can someone suggest a way forward here? I don't mind doing a fresh install of v12.0, if I can at least find a way to boot from a USB stick. But if I could find someway of restoring the existing setup, that would be even better.
