You can try to run from ok prompt: ls and then boot. Got it. thank you for the prompt reply! Any issue/review/code part/etc I can subscribe to get the notifications? I switched the VM to version 16, jumped to the loader prompt, entered "ls", then "boot". The result is still the "The firmware encountered an unexpected exception" message. Do I need to install the latest boot loader/do something else to workaround the issue? I'm not blocked in any way with it, version 15 works just fine, just want to ensure this is the same problem.
