Read various forum threads and decided to crossgrade to TrueNAS-12.0-U1 from FreeNAS-11.3-U5.
Upgrade went seamlessly and thought I was in the clear.
After 7+ days of solid runtime with two pre-existing jails running faultlessly decided to create a new jail running freeBSD.
Saved the configuration. So far, all ok.
Went to start the jail I just created and things got interesting.

Dead system. Could not boot into TrueNAS at all. At which point I was feeling just a little nervous!

Attached a monitor and keyboard to the sever and rolled back to FreeNAS-11.3-U5 and things are all good again. Phew!

Question: What would be the procedure to mount the TrueNAS boot environment to see if anything, in particular logs, are accessible to attempt to figure out what went wrong.

There were no logs in /var ;-(
Deleted the boot image and will try a reinstall at a later date.
