Bug ID: 245348
Summary: [loader] [memstick] Loader on mini-memstick boots an
unexpected kernel
Product: Base System
Version: 12.1-RELEASE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: misc
Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
Reporter: bs...@phoe.frmug.org
The loader provided on FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE-amd64-mini-memstick.img loads and
boots an unexpected kernel when the host has a bootable zpool on another disk.
I expected that booting from the memstick would bring me the installer but I
got the main OS instead. This is extremely inconvenient since I use these USB
sticks as a troubleshooting or disaster recovery tool.
The currdev and loaddev variables are equal and point to the HDD pool but not
to the USB thumb drive from which the loader was read.
OK lsdev
disk devices:
disk0: BIOS drive C (78165360 X 512):
disk0p1: FreeBSD boot
disk0p2: FreeBSD ZFS
disk1: BIOS drive D (7814037168 X 512):
disk1p1: FreeBSD boot
disk1p2: FreeBSD swap
disk1p3: FreeBSD ZFS
disk2: BIOS drive E (7814037168 X 512):
disk2p1: FreeBSD boot
disk2p2: FreeBSD swap
disk2p3: FreeBSD ZFS
zfs devices:
zfs:asroot
The thumb drive is not listed, asroot is pulled from disk0.
11.3 memstick correctly load and boot the kernel from the thumb drive.
The host is an HP ML10 v2 server with firmware revision J10 in BIOS mode.
