OK - Following on to this thread… As I’m testing out an ancient Nvidia card on
this machine, logs at boot are requesting reversion to nvidia-390.
So:
$ pkg uninstall nvidia-460
$ reboot (though the system no longer properly reboots since the last several
updates; deadman timeout, then ‘hard’ reboot required.
- topic for a different thread, I imagine.)
- (In addition, zones set to autoboot do not (autoboot) - perhaps due
to now very-long/much-longer process of mounting all ZFS systems?)
$ pkg install nvidia-390
$ svcadm clear lighted:default
