A picture in a thousand words? Well anyway, these photos explains where I am at.

I am enjoying FreeBSD but I haven't built up my skills to where I would like them to be (long time Linux Admin).
The OS file system looks fine. This minimal environment can see the folder structure of / and it can list contents of some directories like /usr and /root but not /boot and a few other directories. I can't see any pattern to what it can read and can't read. Booting a 11.2 installer and dropping to a shell, I can mount the OS disk and browse all files, including /boot/
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
PS I may end up installing a clean 11.2 (would rather not) but I still want to learn what the issue was or at least what I can do in future to solve investigate this better.
Thanks.
