Boot loop on FW4B after upgrade from 2.6 to 2.7
-
I was trying to install OpenVPN package. I ran into an error that said Pfsense needed to be updated. So I updated to 2.7. The vault never came back up. I hard powered it down and then back up. On its way up it does a boot loop. I have tried to reseat the RAM and Hard Drive and also shorting the CMOS pins.
The results of the boot loop:
BIOS drive C: is disk0
Cant find /boot/zfsloader
Cant find /boot/loader
Cant find /boot/kernel/kernel
FreeBSD/x86 boot
Default: zfs:pfsense/ROOT/default:/boot/kernel/kernel

It can't find anything to boot on the drive. But it is still loading the boot loader which is on the disk so it's probably not drive failure.
I would just reinstall 2.7.2 clean and restore your config into it, assuming you have a backup.
