Recover config from mirrored zfs disk?
-
I rebooted my pfsense today and when it booted back up it threw an error that it could not find /boot/kernal/kernal or something to that effect.
I eneded up having to reinstall
My install was on 2 mirrored zfs disks.
When I did the reinstall I only installed onto 1 disk.
Is there any way for me to recover my config from the 2nd disk? -
Yes, you may well be able to. I would try booting the installer with only the second disk attached and just try the config recovery there.

zpool list
Once the pool is imported, you need to mount the ZFS filesystem containing the pfSense configuration. The exact path may vary, but it's typically something like /mnt/<pool_name>.
zfs mount <pool_name>/mountpoint
