      Hmm, do you have a USB drive attached to it?

      A 6100-MAX would normally have disks nda0 and mmcsd0. Your's appears to not have the eMMC but does have a da0 device.

        That’s the strange thing. There’s nothing but stock drives and no attachments.

          Hmm. Well that's odd!

          Do you see the mmcsd device in the boot log?

              And still no mmcsd0 device in the geom output?

                Hmm, what does: dmesg | grep da0 show?

                      Ok that da0 device is non-standard. It's USB attached. If it's not an actual USB drive is it perhaps a card in the SIM slot?

                      It's somehow booting from that though and confusing the firmware updater. You should remove it. You may need to reinstall though if the nvme drive doesn't contain a valid install.

                        No USBs and nothing in the SIM slot.

                          Ok check the output of: usbconfig dump_device_desc

                          On a 6100-MAX with nothing connected that should look like:
