Settings lost on Reboot

[Darkpatch]

Here goes:   Installed from 22.7 media I made a while back,  was the DVD Media,  installed upgrades it went to 23.1.   Ran it for about a week, until I got a break to do some in depth setup,  decided to upgrade.  The upgrade shows 23.1.5.   It seemed to installed however on reboot,  my configuration changes were gone and it seemes to be back to 23.1.   

Per advice elsewhere,  I started a new install, selecting to delete the partitions during setup.  Not quite sure if it did that, and installed, but noticed that my prior adapter names showed up, so I wasn't certain it was  clean install.    Built new media using the 23.1 vga,  deleted the partitions and then booted up on the new media.   

Install seems to work,  confirmed I did the login as installer.   However,  I am having the same problem, when I try to upgrade to 23.1.5, it goes through the motion, and reboots only to return with 23.1 and without any configurations.

Look around online but only found a few people with similar issues.    I decided to try a few things.  Disabled ip6, made sure that my dns was only using 3rd part not and isp dns and verified it through /etc/resolv.conf.
Did a reinstall of several packages via the package menu,  things like opnsense-update. opnsense-installer, anything ssl related.  I can even go to my status tab and it say 23.1.5.   

Ran an option 12 update from SSH,  everything appears to update, however upon reboot I see this:

*** OPNsense.localdomain: OPNsense 23.1 ***


Am I somehow running a live instance even through it doesn't say so? 
Its not booting of my usb, its booting off the instance I got after I logged in as installer.

The other odd thing is despite it showing all the old information, if I run an audit,  it knows it should have been updated, and is looking for the updated files.

The easiest way to know for certain is to make sure you have no USB or DVD/CD media connected to your machine.

Everything you're describing sounds like it's not installed.

[Darkpatch]

As far as I can tell its installed.   

If I am using ZFS is there something I have to do to make sure that its working?
One thing I noticed that confused me is the msdosfs.gpt/efiboot0 VFS    -  Is that normal?
