      Hello,

      Yesterday, I tried upgrading from 2.7.2 to 2.80 directly in GUI and after this it won't boot anymore... According to the update log everything should be OK and finished successfully, but...
      I am running it on a Hyper-V and this is the error at the moment:

      Is there any chance to recover from this situation?

      Thank you!
      BR,
      N. Masalski
      P.S.
      Attaching the update log.

          The upgrade log shows that UEFI boot entry 0002 was marked as active:

          Updating boot code...
          
          /usr/local/sbin/../libexec/install-boot.sh -b auto -f zfs -s gpt -u da0
          gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 2 da0
          partcode written to da0p2
          bootcode written to da0
          ESP /dev/da0p1 mounted on /tmp/stand-test.3IL7PZ
          264752KB space remaining on ESP: renaming old bootx64.efi file /efi/boot/bootx64.efi /efi/boot/bootx64-old.efi
          264752KB space remaining on ESP: renaming old loader.efi file /etc/freebsd/loader.efi /etc/freebsd/loader-old.efi
          Copying loader.efi to /EFI/freebsd on ESP
          Creating UEFI boot entry for FreeBSD
          Marking UEFI boot entry 0002 active
          Copying bootx64.efi to /efi/boot on ESP
          Unmounting and cleaning up temporary mount point
          Finished updating ESP
          

          But that screenshot shows it's trying and failing to boot 0004. So the first thing I would try is setting 0002 as the active boot value.
