I am running FreeNAS 11.1-U7-? ... is installed on a small SSD which passed SCRUB at 3:45AM yesterday. The system has been up for about 6 month (whenever the last 11.1-U7 was pushed through the GUI. I updated through the GUI at that time and everything was fine.
I had to power the system down from the console due to power failure (The UPS did not die, and AFAIK the system powered down OK). I was handling other systems as well. When I powered the system back on I get Initializing.../ (Spinning /-\), then the Avago HBA message, and then a frozen screen with just GRUB. I can't type anything, my only possible action is CTRL-ALT-DEL. The Boot SSD is on a native stat port on the motherboard, and it shows up in the BIOS.
AFAIK the system has been booting in comparability mode, but the motherboard has a UEFI bios. I'm really not sure how things were installed it was so long ago.
I tried booting a live linux distro just to look at the boot disk to see if it was recognized by smart, and everything was fine. I did get a message about gpt being inconsistant (the distro is VERY old, and it's linux not FreeBSD, so I didn't change it). I think the most likely situation is the the boot partition is corrupted in some way. Is there a live rescue disk that I should be using.
'm a total FreeBSD NOOB... and I find grub super confusing even on linux.
How should I proceed? I'm really desperate to get my FreeNAS back!
