https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291559 Bug ID: 291559 Summary: Freshly installed FreeBSD UEFI "Auto (ZFS)" fails to boot when the selected pool name is "boot" and installation type is "Distribution sets" Product: Base System Version: 15.0-RELEASE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: vedad@kajtaz.net Created attachment 266077 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=266077&action=edit UEFI boot failure Installing a fresh FreeBSD 15.0, using "FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso", with "Auto (ZFS)" partitioning, selecting "boot" as pool name, results in post-install UEFI boot failure, with the following message: (see screenshot of the bhyve/vnc install) This seems to occur only if both of the following conditions are met: * The zfs pool is named "boot" * The "Distributions sets" installation type is selected (I couldn't reproduce the issue with "Packages" type and a pool named "boot") Note that everything looks ok at the "Manual configuration" step: (see screenshot with all of the below) * "gpart show" shows the efi (which is mountable & mounted) and freebsd-zfs partitions * The "bootfs" property is set correctly * "bectl list" output looks ok I suspected this to be due to the pool having (by default) "mountpoint" property set to "/boot", which could have been in conflict with the mountpoint of the efi partition as per /etc/fstab. However, removing the mountpoint property ("zfs set mountpoint=none boot") from "Live system" prior to the first boot did not solve the issue.
