            Bug ID: 244068
           Summary: Boot environment doesn't work without
                    vfs.root.mountfrom
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
          Reporter: greencopperm...@yandex.com

I don't know if this is perhaps because I'm using a couple of GELI disks in a
mirror, but when I create a boot environment and activate it I cannot boot from
it unless I also set "vfs.root.mountfrom" in /boot/loader.conf to the boot
environment I want to boot from.

Also the environments doesn't show up in the boot loader.

If I then do a reboot I get a kernel panic with:

mountroot: unable to remount devfs under /dev (error2)
mountroot: unable to unlink /dev/dev (error2)
init not found...
panic: no init

If during boot I drop into the loader and manually do:

set vfs.root.mountfrom="zfs:zroot/ROOT/krita"
boot

Then it works.

I noticed that before I attempted any of this the installer had set
vfs.root.mountfrom="zfs:zroot/ROOT/default" in /boot/loader.conf

Kind regards
