Description

https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/single-user-mode.html#entering-single-user-mode

The documentation currently has a warning that says ZFS file systems must manually clear next boot configuration, but this is also true of the Netgate 3100 running ufs. Tested with 23.01

Looking this over, there is nowhere in the code that offers to reboot a 3100 in a way that would land a user in this scenario. The GUI and console menu options are hidden for this reason, it's not supported properly there.

I'm hesitant to add info to the docs here, there isn't a good place to fit them in without making a whole section just for manually running nextboot and I don't think that's something we want to document. If the user wants to do that on their own, they can refer to the FreeBSD documentation.
