Can't find FreeBSD

[Andre Roux]

Hi.
We're new to TrueNAS.
Installed TrueNAS Core 13.0-U3.1
But keep getting a Can't find FreeBSD error every time the machine restarts, then I have to 'upgrade' the OS to fix this without losing configs.
See attached screenshot.

Apparently I need to make the bootload persistent but can't seem to find the command line text for this.
If I should, please advise on how.
If not, what should I do?
Thanks.
Andre

Welcome to the forums.

Sorry to hear you're having trouble. Please take a few moments to review the Forum Rules, conveniently linked at the top of every page in red, and pay particular attention to the section on how to formulate a useful problem report, especially including a detailed description of your hardware and what boot devices you are using.

The provided screen shot suggests that your boot device is failing, which is why the OS bootstrap would then fail to load FreeBSD. Replacement is suggested. We typically suggest a small SSD like a 120GB unit as a good candidate for a boot device.
