I just fixed a problem with probing disks for zfs volumes a few days ago (r346675). There is even some small chance it fixes this problem, because one of the things I noticed was that in one of the disk structures in loader, the "slice offset" value was sometimes a bit random-looking, like it was being initialized with whatever garbage was laying around in memory. It actually makes some sense that the "garbage" might be different between a firstboot after power-on and a reboot. So all in all, it wouldn't hurt to update both gptzfsboot and loader (gpart bootcode -b and -p) to see if there's a fix lurking in my zfs probe changes. -- Ian ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

The boot process will normally proceed on the second or third attempt. On some days, I don't see this message appear and my laptops boot normally. I don't think that this problem is hardware related. One laptop is a Compaq Pavilion with an AMD Turion CPU and the other is a Dell Inspiron with an Intel Core2 Duo CPU. One hard drive is mechanical and the other is a SSD.

CFT: FreeBSD Package Base
FreeBSD Community, I'm pleased to announce a CFT for builds of FreeBSD 12-stable and 13-current using "TrueOS-inspired" packaged base. These are stock FreeBSD images which will allow users to perform all updating via the 'pkg' command directly. Rather than trying to answer all questions in this announcement, we've created a FAQ page with more details. Please refer to this page, and let us know if you have additional questions that we can include on that page going forward. Additionally, I will be hosting a Package Base working group at BSDCan 2019, and welcome user and developer attendance to discuss this and other ongoing package work: https://wiki.freebsd.org/DevSummit/201905/PackageBase FAQ - https://trueos.github.io/pkgbase-docs/ Download Links - FreeBSD 12-STABLE: https://pkg.trueos.org/iso/freebsd12-pkgbase/ FreeBSD 13-CURRENT: https://pkg.trueos.org/iso/freebsd-pkgbase/ -- Kris Moore Vice President of Engineering iXsystems, Inc Ph: (408) 943-4100 Ph: (408) 943-4101 The Groundbreaking TrueNAS M-Series - Enterprise Storage & Servers Driven By Open Source ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Most of the time the boot process is successful on my next attempt. This happens on two different laptops (different manufacturer). Different hard drives (one mechanical, the other SSD). Both laptops are running 13.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT r346544 GENERIC-NODEBUG. All of my desktop computers are running the same version of FreeBSD and never exhibit this issue. Is there something unique to a laptop reading the boot record and looking for a GELI encrypted partition that a desktop does not?
