      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

        Since you have a backup I would just reinstall clean. Open a ticket with us to get the 23.05.1 recovery image: https://www.netgate.com/tac-support-request
