I have a HP t620 plus that I've been using for years as a pfSense router. I wanted to switch to OPNsense so I can use ZeroTier.
When I use a USB Drive to install OPNsense everything works file until I install updates. Once it reboots after updating the system it can no longer find the boot drive.
I went though and installed it again with MBR selected this time and the same thing happens. The next thing I tried to do was install it again and just install the ZeroTier package without updating the system and it fails to find the boot drive again. If I install OPNsense and not install any packages or do any updates and do a reboot it comes right back up.
Next I installed the latest BIOS firmware to see if that would resolve the issue and the same problem keeps happening.
Is there anything else that I can do to get system to work after installing updates or packages?
I don't see anything that sticks out in the SMART information. I'm thinking there is a bug with the package installer screen that is breaking the boot partition.

I setup a 2nd router so I can mess around with OPNsense without knocking my family off the internet.
It seems the boot failure is not related to installing packages/updates on the system. After a fresh install I go though reboot the system a twice from the WebUI every time on the 2nd reboot the system no longer sees the boot drive.
I've finally got it working. The SSD that was installed was reporting that everything was fine through all the testing that I did on it. Bad sector tests, smart tests, ect. I got a new drive and installed it and reinstalled opnsense and everything is working fine now.
