[PLUG-TALK] freebsd 13 zfs Cannot find the pool label for ‘tank’ on boot

[Randy Bush]

zfs boot system, hardware, so would need a usb, and it is very far away

upgrade from 12-release to 13-release went south on the second `shutdown -r`

[ excuse, this is an ocr from a screen capture from ipmi kvm ]

```

  eg. ufs:/dev/da0sla
       zfs:zroot/ROOT/default
       cd9666: /dev/cd@ ro
         (which is equivalent to: mount -t cd9668 -o ro /dev/cd@ /)
 
   ?            List valid disk boot devices
   .            Yield 1 second (for background tasks)

```

do i need to tell it to reassemble the zfs array, and how?
