FN11 RC3 to RC4 Update - Cannot Boot

[ReadyPlayGo]

Code:

This is a freenas data disk and can not boot system. System halted.

I had a fresh install of FN11 RC3 with 1 volume, 1 dataset, and 1 SMB share. The OS was installed on a 32GB SuperDOM in a SuperDOM port on a SuperMicro MoBo. The volume is composed of 6x6TB WD Reds in RAIDZ2. It was all working great.

I updated from RC3 to RC4, and now FreeNAS thinks that it is installed on a data disk. BIOS still clearly shows the SuperDOM SATA port as a boot priority.

I assume I now have to reinstall the OS fresh, manually import the volume, and resetup the data share.

How does this happen? What should I have done differently? How do I avoid this in the future?

BIOS still clearly shows the SuperDOM SATA port as a boot priority.

Don't trust it. Remove everything that isn't the DOM from the boot list, just to be safe. If that doesn't work, then you can try reinstalling.

Try force booting with the correct device if your motherboard supports that. It sounds like the boot order just got messed up or your DOM is really dead.

That's also unreliable, unfortunately. ASRock actually removed that on my X99 WS in the 2.x BIOS, presumably because it didn't work correctly. (Thanks, AMI!)

Please help, I made an upgrade from RC3 - RC4, but then the system did not run and shows the message on the screen.

Reinstall from scratch, upload your config backup and pay for my medical bills for the neck injury I sustained trying to read your screenshot.

Just lay your SurfacePro flat and turn it 180 degrees.

Hard to do with a 27" monitor. ;)
