SG-1100 panic after failed update

[Johnny 2]

I was trying to update my SG-1100 via the UI.

The last sign of life there was:

[236/245] Extracting pfSense-base-25.11.1: ... done
===> Keeping a copy of current version mtree
===> Removing schg flag from base files
===> Extracting new base tarball

Since then, my SG-1100 was unresponsive and not functioning anymore.

I rebooted & connected via the USB console and I am not getting a proper prompt. Instead I see a prompt like this:

db>

I am not sure, but it could be that I ran out of disk space during the update procedure.

Can I recover?

If you type bt at that prompt the backtrace should show you what the panic was.

What were you upgrading from?

I would probably just re-install to 26.07 though. You can recover the config from the installer if you don't have a backup as long as the drive is readable.
