Yep, the typical FreeBSD package manager bug that we're seeing.

Apparently a rare but still prevalent race condition between renameat() and chdir().

Figured out that this not the root cause. Got second a DEC2770 device with the same issue, reproducable.
I can hear fans spinning up after uhub0: detached uhub1: detached, but nothing is happening anymore. Serial console is empty and device is not booting. Hard reset is needed, but after next reboot it stuck again without any output.

Could it be an bios issue? Is there a bios update available for thos dec2770's ?

Note sure, now we've changed the goal post?

Could this be a box where the CMOS battery is empty?

The microcode update addon and a actual microcode update seems to have solved this. It survived 10 reboots in a row now after update.
