Hi everyone, I’m new to TRUENAS scale. however, I am not able to boot into TRUENAS scale as I was able to about a week ago, and now I am getting this message saying that it failed to import boot pool. Can anyone help with this and what should I do? I can’t get past the command line and don’t know any commands. Here’s a picture of what I get. Thanks in advance for all your help Billy.

Please review the Forum Rules above... They include details on how to make a good post for requesting help. A complete hardware list is helpful.
For example, if you are using a USB flash drive as the boot device, a great many of them are less than reliable.

The same applies to you and everyone. More information is good and helpful.
I am having the same issue, basically same screenshot as original poster.
5955WX
Asus Sage II WRX80 motherboard
256gb ram
3 pools (Pool 1: 8 - 18tb drives in 2 mirrored 4 drive Z1 pools, Pool 2: Mirrored apps pool, Pool 3: Plex Optane Transcoding drive)
25gbe network
Same issue, can not find the pool. I believe the boot-pool is on my Pool 3 optane drive as when upgrading the system I forgot to put the drive in and I received a similar message. After putting the drive in, everything worked fine and I was able to use the system normally. A few days later after a couple reboots, I started to receive the same message as the original poster. Initially I was able to manually import Pool 1 & 2 (3 was nowhere to be seen), but now it shows no pools at all. When I was able to import through the initramfs interface, I was still not able to boot truenas and was stuck in that interface.
My fear is that the Optane drive has somehow been wiped. I still see the drive in the MB bios however, so I know the system still sees it as intact. Any ideas here?

Using the boot pool for anything different than running TN is not supported.
I have to waste an entire drive just for booting?

Sorry let me clarify, I have TN running on a sata SSD drive. I only thought "boot-pool" was on the Pool 3 Optane drive because it was unable to be located by the system until I put that drive in earlier.
Good idea, I will try this tonight.
Thanks, I reinstalled then restored my config file, I am back up and running and added my new pool.
