Title: update 26.7.1 to 26.7.2 fails, no boot on legacy boot system after reboot
Post by: knowHoff on August 16, 2026, 08:04:40 PM
Good evening,

after doing the upgrade today from
26.7.1 to 26.7.2,
my system fails while trying to boot.
The only output I see is the one shown here

I am able to access a boot prompt.
The only answer I get after typing "boot" is from gptboot, which is not applicable on a CSM / legacy boot system.

Is there any possibility to recover the installation
or do I have to clean install?

Cheers

It might just need to install the bootloader to the disk. Can you boot to a usb stick/live freebsd distro? Easier to use the native freeBSD tools not the linux ones for this case.
When booted to the live session, show the partitions on this disk.:
$gpart show
