            Bug ID: 275301
           Summary: 14.0 relnotes lack bios bootloader upgrade warning
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Books & Articles

The 14.0 release notes specifically call out if you have an EFI system then=
 you
must reinstall the bootloader before running `zpool upgrade`

> Note for systems that boot via EFI
> [...]
>  After a system upgrade, but before doing a zpool upgrade, the boot loade=
r on the ESP must be updated, or the system may become unbootable

They neglect to mention you must reinstall the boot loader when booting in
traditional BIOS mode.  The mention of one without the other may lead to pe=
ople
making an incorrect assumption that it is not necessary on the other.=20=20

Suggestion is make a more generalised warning that updating the boot loader=
 is
required regardless of whether you boot BIOS or EFI.
