Description

Installing pfSense 2.7.0 using the Auto (ZFS) + MBR (BIOS) options appears successful, however when the installer reboots the system, the system fails to boot successfully, with a message displayed indicating the operating system is missing.

It is possible to install 2.6.0 with these options (Auto (ZFS) + MBR (BIOS)) and successfully upgrade to 2.7.0.

I believe this issue is inherited from FreeBSD:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=267843
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D40816

Whilst this issue should ideally be resolved in future releases of pfSense, I assume it must be considering for future in-place upgrades to avoid “bricking” devices already configured in this way.
