      I have a netgate 4100-s which the emmc failed and was no longer detectable along with booting issues , until I managed to rescue it through installing new ssd .

      I installed the latest pfsense version and boot looks ok apart from the low priority issue of 15 seconds delay & orange light when connecting the power it start the post and troubleshoots the bootable media which eventually boot to pfsense .

      the main problem I faced and tried multiple solutions I found online i the reboot from GUI or CLI will hang & wont come back until force shutdown power recycle , its not just after pfsense boots as seems happens during boot order menu when hinting ESC to reboot .

      the solutions I tried so far :
      1- add emmc disable & acpi.0.disabled hints in /boot/loader.conf.local / laoder
      2- add acpi.disable_on_reboot lines

      I'v red online and here that some users manged to resolve many issues by removing the emmc itself but this on is the last thing thinking of seeing the issue most likely a bug and bios should already ignore emmc if an ssd is there .

      below are the complete logs FYR if someone can guide me further might I missed something .
      Thanks .

      Complete boot here long log
