@stephenw10 Looks like you found the issue since mine are clearly not there. What file do I need to edit to add these entries? Thanks!

Aha! They should be added by loader.conf.lua at boot but yours are not for some reason. Checking....
-
@stephenw10 Thanks man! At least I'm not the only one having this issue...
-
Is it not reporting as the correct device somehow? Seems unlikely since that would break a lot more things but:

Assuming it shows it!

@stephenw10 Here it the output with my serial numbers removed:

Ok we have replicated it locally and are digging..
-
@stephenw10 Always a good sign! Thank you.
-
Update: this issue is still present through today's daily snapshot:
-
Ok I think this is a side effect of another issue. Check /boot/loader.conf it should contain the line:
loader_conf_files="/boot/loader.conf.lua"
We have seen that line missing from a few other cases though.

@stephenw10 said in Netgate Firmware Version Unknown:
/boot/loader.conf
Definitely not here. Added the entry to the bottom and am rebooting. Standby...

You can just manually add it. We are still investigating what might have removed it. Or caused it never to have been added.
-
@stephenw10 That did it. Thanks!
-
Excellent. OK that explains why it showed Unknown. Just need to find out why that line went AWOL!
