<![CDATA[Netgate 7100 1U will not boot various errors]]>Hi all,

The device in question dropped out completely when attempting to restore a backup taken a couple of hours beforehand. The GUI wouldn't load whatsoever so attempted to connect via the console.
When booting I get the following errors:

Can't find /boot/zfsloader

Can't find /boot/loader

Can't find /boot/kernel/kernel

Does anyone know what could have caused these errors or a means to fix the device to at least allow it to boot? I'm not sure if it could be a drive error or file system or something I've completely missed.
I'm only looking to completely wipe the device now as I have the config backups anyway.

Thanks
