Hi,
I hosed my system by upgrading it. I've been running freenas on the same HW for sereral years. Just changed the usb sticks once a year as they get broken. But now I couldn't boot after update to 11.2U1. I have now done several re-installs today to get to the roots of it. It seems 11.1 series installs and boots fine, but if I upgrade to 11.2U1, it won't boot. Neither will it boot after clean install. The bootloader just doesn't work. I loose the first character in my monitor, but it seems to say:
There is some problem with the bootloader. The installer boots 100% of the time. So does the 11.1 series. I believe the new one is not grub, but the freebsd bootloader. Apparently buggy.
I will now install back 11.1, and hold my thumbs up the configuration will be backwards portable.
The weird thing is, it booted once after upgrade. I upgraded from 11.1 to 11.2U1, and it rebooted nicely. I got to push my old configs db in, and now it's again in this broken boot screen. Just like in fresh install of 11.2.
