      @stephenw10 Thank you, that's great to know. That takes care of one part. Now if I can verify that /dev/ada0p1 is the correct location to mount /boot/efi I will be able to finish following @jimp process.

        The output of gpart list should confirm that. There will only be one EFI partition.

          @stephenw10 Thanks again. I ran gpart list before and this is the output I received and why I figured /dev/ada01p was the correct location to mount /boot/efi. Let me know if you see the same thing:

          This was also before I did a temp mount of /boot/efi to /dev/ada0p1.

            Yup looks good.

            Of course I'd still have a backup of the config etc! ๐Ÿ˜‰

              @stephenw10 Perfect, thank you again. I already created a backup before the botched upgrade, so I should be good there. May take another one just in case.

                I know the last 2 shouldn't have changed, which they didn't. Just wanted to put them in here to document the changes.

                Now I just need some time to try the upgrade again, and in case everything goes completely south I have time to rebuild.

                  Cool. Does it reboot successfully from there?

                    @stephenw10 Unfortunately I am going to have to wait till I can bring down the network to test. If I take it down now and it doesn't come back up I will be having some hell to pay from the family...lol. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
