https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=287420 Paul Ivanov <pi@berkeley.edu> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|New |Closed Resolution|--- |Not A Bug --- Comment #1 from Paul Ivanov <pi@berkeley.edu> --- After re-reading my own thread for how I set up this system, it turned out that this was a quirk in my setup and the result of using the same zfs dataset as both an initial root partition, and later a /boot partition. After re-reading my own thread for how I set up this system, I needed to have /boot/boot be a symlink to '.' in order for the dataset to work as an unencrypted root partition. As this system doesn't use the /boot/boot MBR, I was able to get away with having /boot/boot be a symlink, and I had moved aside the contents of the original /boot/boot in case I ever need it later. The upgrade overwrote the /boot/boot symlink I put in to make /boot also function as a standalone /, replacing it with the MBR /boot/boot. Putting back the symlink fixed my booting issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
