      @Willever you could try:

      load kernel
      load zfs
      boot
      

      at that prompt and see if it boots.

        thanks - I tried that at the OK prompt and it says Can't find kernel.

          @Willever Not sure what happened but reinstalling is probably the fastest way back in terms of clock time.

          Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
          When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
