Solved Not booting after upgrading to 12.2

free-and-bsd I committed two mistakes:
1. Deleted the efi partition.
2. Overwrote the freebsd-boot with the new installation I made on the other disk.

When was trying to find a workaround :(

Did you read the manual I linked to? It describes a basic installation process. All the steps you might need to restore your system, whatever be the damage (reasonably). I mean, you seem to be a quick guy, heh, so won't hurt to know what you're doing in advance ;) ;)
 
free-and-bsd thanks for the help. This manual is super useful but, it's not quite but I'm needing. My problem shifted a bit right now because, I have two disk:

ada0 with new install from usb stick mem with FreeBSD12.2
ada1 booting correctly with FreeBSD12.2 with all my data ( copied from and before erased ada0)

Currently, I can only boot from ada1 which is HDD not a SDD like ada0. I can't make ada0 boot. I installed several times but the pool created is not used to boot.
 
Thank you Argentum free-and-bsd and SirDice for all the directions finally could solve my problem.

I think, one of the reason that didn't let me to boot from new ada0 it's because I was naming the pool same name zroot as soon I did a new installation with new name different from the other ada1, it could finally boot.
 
I guess it was already stuck too early for that.

i had something like this with uefi, but not after an update just only randomly at starting. After the second try (if it hung), it went then.

But now i use legacy wherever I can, so i don't have any more trouble with it.

Not sure if that's the case but are you perhaps loading the drm kmod for video? That might be the cause...

Yes, I did on my other partition, but I was checking a new thread about that said it should be installed first Xorg. Beside, my video card Radeon has 10 years already same as the whole cpu.

This is one thing you should NEVER do, LOL. Never. Or the only option will be to disable the one or the other from BIOS so you could proceed.
