Update Crashed System - Is Recovery Possible?

[theprez]

Hey All -

Everything was working fine until I decided to update this morning and the server rebooted. Instead of booting, I was thrown to what appeared to be a UEFI boot loader (yellow colored text and UEFI references) and the box simply won't boot. I've tried forcing boot via F12 at the BIOS screen and selecting UEFI options and it won't boot. FreeNAS was installed previously on a 32GB Satadom SATA drive - which is appearing in the BIOS still.

From what I've read on the forums - it seems like I should do a fresh FreeNAS install and "import" the existing pool - is that correct?

Thanks

If you have your config backup, then getting back on your feet is as simple as:

• Install FreeNAS
• Upload/restore config backup
• Import pool (should happen automagically after uploading config)
