        Do you have any BE snapshots you can try rolling back to at the loader prompt?

        Otherwise the most common reason I've seen that on a ZFS install is that the required zfs modules are not being loaded.
        At the the loader prompt (not the mountroot prompt) try running:

        load /boot/kernel/kernel
load /boot/kernel/opensolaris.ko
load /boot/kernel/zfs.ko
boot

          Thank you for your help with my pfSense boot error 95.

          Not sure how to get to loader prompt. My recovery strategy is to re-install and reconfigure WAN, LAN and OpenVPN.

          Will keep working on this problem as a learning exercise.

            Reinstaling and restoring your config will probably be quickest and safest.
