Loader.efi, yes.

On "modern" systems this is usually the same file (hard link) as loader_lua.efi.

    On one of my VMs that I upgraded from RELENG_13 to RELENG_14, I

    ZFS: unsupported feature: com.klarasystems:vdev_zaps_v2

    Can't find /boot/zfsloader

    What is the best way to recover from this ? Its a raw vm image.
    gpart is
    p1=freebsd-boot, p2=freebsd-swap,p3=freebsd-zfs

    I was thinking perhaps start up a second vm thats RELENG_14,
    mdconfig
    the image, and then what do I need to do ? Just

    gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 md0 ?


Yes, note that if the host is running FreeBSD you can mdconfig the image on the host directly and do it on the host too.

BTW. pmbr is very simple and doesn't change that often, updating gptzfsboot should be sufficient.


Thanks!  Another server I have (zoo) is EFI. I have not upgraded the boot pool yet, but its a mirror (ada8 and ada9). Both are
p1=efi
p2=freebsd-boot
p3=swap
p4=zfs

They appear to be the same.  Do I just replace both those files ?

root@zoo2:~ # find /mnt -type f | xargs md5
