The problem is if boot is failing, how to mount and rename it?

I'm looking for a way, if possible, to boot directly bkp boot64x in case of failure.
I was hoping to find it in loader(8) or uefi(8)...

I would assume just rename the bootx64.old to bootx64.efi

and/or put it in a different directory that EFI can see

I'm searching without success to load a bkp loader in case of boot failure.

Upgrade process willl be like:
---
mount -t msdosfs /dev/nvd0p1 /mnt
cp /mnt/efi/boot/bootx64.efi /mnt/efi/boot/bootx64.old
cp /boot/loader.efi /mnt/efi/boot/bootx64.efi
---

I can't find the right docs to load bootx64.old.
Could you tell me what you did to solve your boot?

Thanks

Hello Yasu,

Does it needes to update boot loader everytime that we upgrade current?

No, you need not.

The only time that I updated was a month ago because of zfs upgrade and I need to practice how to boot
loader bkp file :)

I update boot loader everytime because I'd like to do it :-).
And sometimes problem hits upon me like this time and I contribute to
debugging base system :-):-).
