cannot boot SG3100

I have been using the SG3100 just fine but the log files were filing up space quickly.
So i installed m2 SSD drive inside the netgate sg3100
I did this so as to not kill the eMMC in a matter of months if not weeks with the high logging level.

Today i decided to take out the m2 SSD drive
But when i tried to bootup it get stuck

Error: SCSI Controller(s) 1B4B:9215 1B4B:9235 not found
scanning bus for devices....
Found 0 device(s).

Did you install pfSense on the SSD? that will format the emmc also during install if so just reinstall firmware.

Honestly, I don't remember
I am happy to start over and install pfsense on the emmc
How would i go about doing that?

You would need to set the bootcmd env back to the emmc if it was previously booting from m.2.

See the reinstall step here: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/sg-3100/m-2-sata-installation.html
