It installed properly and it has booted a couple of times, but lately it always hangs in the middle of the boot loader menu. It always prints the first five menu entries, but then hangs when it should print out the kernels that are available. I can still boot with the memstick and "zfs import" the pool, and the pool appears fine. I have tried searching the web, but haven't found anything that helps. These are all loader.conf settings I have tried that don't help: vfs.zfs.cache_flush_disable="1" kern.cam.ada.write_cache="0" kern.cam.boot_delay="5000" loader_delay="3" boot_verbose="YES" verbose_loading="YES" The main system components are: Motherboard: ASUS Prime A320M-K Processor: Ryzen 3 3200G Disk: WDC WDS500G2B0B-00YS70 401020WD (500GB M.2 SATA SSD) I have run out of ideas, so any suggestions would be much appreciated. -- Carl Johnson carlj@peak.org
