Title: Just updated - hangs on boot trying to load zfsroot
Post by: panda39 on March 12, 2026, 08:30:03 PM
Hi everyone,

I just updated and it's stuck on boot and I saw that on the screen while trying to boot. I've waited 15 minutes and I've waited 10 minutes, but all it keeps getting stuck there.

I don't know how else to troubleshoot this.

I have read about the bootloader being too outdated to accept new versions of OPNsense when the original first install of OPNsense was done a very long time ago.

Does that perhaps apply to your situation ?

If so, you can read about the update procedure here : https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=29304.0
I think this is the latest topic about the subject, but I could be wrong !!
So read it very carefully and decide what to do yourself based on the situation you are in !!
