ISO: 13-CURRENT does not boot in Live mode on BIOS

13-CURRENT based Live ISO does not boot. Getting

lock order reversal:
isofs -> bufwait established at:
(...)
md.c:895

Nevertheless it proceeds to loading the uzip, but then says

cannot mount tmpfs on /dev/reroot: operation not supported by device

Possible explanation that helloSystem is using initgfx from NomadBSD (albeit a newer version than they do themselves).

Probably this ticket can be closed as the 13-CURRENT experimental builds seem to boot on BIOS devices.

Today’s hello-13.0-CURRENT-3d72a66-amd64.iso written to a USB flash drive (stress-tested 32 GB Kingston DataTraveler 3.0 PMAP s/n C860008AE288BF4189030BBD)

Ergo Vista 631

Circa 2008. Success, with the drive in one of the two rear ports:

text for boot stages one and two
the FreeBSD logo during the third and (multi-user) last stages –𢀓 presumably loader(1) builtin commands boot_mute
the Ergo splash screen for a split-second
helloSystem desktop environment.

Off-topic from boot: the touch pad is not driven, this might fall under https://github.com/helloSystem/ISO/issues/49#issuecomment-751280022

Note to self: in other situations (with e.g. NomadBSD) the late reappearance of the splash screen is sometimes much longer than a split-second.

kib points out “[ENODEV] is returned by vfs_mount when there is no registered fs and it cannot load the module”

Could be OpenZFS (i.e. the switch from the original ZFS port to OpenZFS) needs cryptodev loaded explicitly? You can also try kldloading it from the single user shell and then running reboot -r there.
