            Bug ID: 280959
           Summary: New FreeBSD EC2 Machines Don't Boot
           Product: Base System
           Version: 13.3-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: ploopster@gmail.com

Hi!

I *think* this only happens on smaller EC2 instances.  If I specify an instance
size that doesn't have enough memory for `freebsd-update` to complete, it runs
out of memory, the kernel panics, the instance reboots, and the whole thing
starts again.  When I'm using `freebsd-update` on older instances which are
small enough that `freebsd-update` can't run, I just turn on swap and then try
again.  However, all of the versions of FreeBSD that are current have
`firstboot_freebsd_update_enable="YES"`.  The instance never comes up
completely, so I can't add swap.
