Just upgraded a system from 13.1 to 13.2.
All straight forward:
The system booted as normal, prompting for the zfs encryption password. FreeBSD loader. Boot.
It's at this point this went very very strange. I started having issues in RC after the kernel booted and was dropped out to sh. I found myself in a system for a hostname that wasn't the local machine!!!! At this stage I'm wondering did I slip into a parallel universe. Checking the zfs pool I noted that zroot appeared to be on `ada0` rather than the NVME disk. When I issued a `zpool list` I could see the zroot pool I was expecting but was not what was booted.
This should have been the correct zroot:
No idea why this wasn't booted. I clearly hit this disk first time since I was prompted for the zfs password but after that I seem to have booted a disk plugged into the system from another host that wasn't wiped...
Some how the system had booted "something"? as zroot from ada0 which is part of another pool used for storage.
I rebooted and escaped out to the loader prompt. Issuing a `lszfs zroot` I could see file systems I expected from the correct system such as `ROOT`, `bastille` `vm` and `poudriere`. I checked the boot environments and I had the following:
I was unaware of any boot environment being on this system. Or perhaps I've suffered some memory loss and don't remember configuring them myself. Issued a `bectl activate 13.2-RELEASE-p3_2023-09-07_182150` and reboot and the system booted correctly.
What I don't know and what I really need help with is what state this system is currently in with regards future upgrades, boot environments and tidying this up. Clearly I want and should be booting `default` but I'm not familiar with using boot environments and I would very much appreciate some help on sorting this mess out. Ideally I want to get back to booting "default" and clearing out any of the remaining boot environments.
Thanks in advance.
