https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D229926 Bug ID: 229926 Summary: FreeBSD loader(8) - /boot/zfsloader - is unable to boot other then currently set BE Product: Base System Version: 11.2-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: vermaden@interia.pl Created attachment 195335 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D195335&action= =3Dedit zfsloader-beadm.png Hi, the title is probably misleading so let me try to explain the details. You have two boot environments, currently booted one called 'safe' and you = just created new one as backup, lets call it 'test'. # beadm list BE Active Mountpoint Space Created safe NR / 378.1M 2018-07-20 07:26 test - - 412.0K 2018-07-21 18:51 Now, lets create 'disaster', we will remove the /boot directory from the currently used BE. # rm -rf /boot ... and restart. # reboot Now the loader(8) does not even show us Boot Menu but only error message th= at it is not able to locate the /boot/zfsloader from the currently set bootfs option for zroot, as shown on the zfsloader-beadm.png image, and that is qu= ite OK, it waits at boot: prompt waiting for an option. ... but if I type zroot/ROOT/test:/boot/kernel/kernel there is stops with B= TX halted message. The 'fix' for that is to boot from ISO or MEMSTICK with LiveCD option and s= et bootfs manurally for zroot to zroot/ROOT/test value and reboot, as shown on= the zfsloader-zpool-bootfs.png image. IMHO if we type zroot/ROOT/test:/boot/kernel/kernel at boot: prompt it shou= ld not halt, but proove me wrong.
