Yesterday, after upgrading to 12.2-RELEASE-p3, I was prompted to
After the upgrade,
I tried to repair it from a live USB, but so far have been unable to.
Basically, I did what's described in this post:
The first command has fixed the EFI partition enough that the BIOS at least recognizes that it's bootable again, but it still fails. I also tried
According to
1. efi
2. freebsd-boot
3. freebsd-swap
4. freebsd-zfs
This excludes my second ZFS pool, which is only for storage.
When booting from the live USB, it throughs up this screen:
Apparently, it is asking for the passphrase to my geli-encrypted root partition. Inside the shell, I can use
When trying to boot from the internal SSD, the screen looks similar, but it says "unable to load /boot/loader.efi" and "no bootable partitions found". This makes sense, since I was never prompted to enter the geli password for my zroot pool, which /boot resides on. Before I broke everything, the geli password prompt would be the first thing to appear when booting.
I'm sure I have missed something somewhere, any help is appreciated.
zpool upgrade.After the upgrade,
zpool status prompted me to execute a gpart bootcode ... command. Mindlessly, I did gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i1 nvd0. When I rebooted today, I realized that this command had rendered the machine unbootable, which I definitely should have expected. It was so unbootable that the BIOS didn't even recognize the disk anymore.I tried to repair it from a live USB, but so far have been unable to.

dd if=/boot/boot1.efifat of=/dev/nvd0p1, which has not led to different results.According to
gpart show nvd0, I have 4 partitions:1. efi
