Boot failure detection tripping on config reset button during boot
100%
Description
When booting the 4200, if you follow the instructions outlined here to press the reset button when the appliance starts to flash the black diamond light, the unit hangs at the smbus0 prompt for a while while it waits for the three red lights to begin flashing:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/netgate-4200/factory-reset.html
This seems to be tripping up the boot failure detection that was introduced in 24.03, as it's then power cycling the appliance with the following message in the console output:

Appears to have the same boot failure detection on the 4100. Likely not the only devices to have this issue.
Short press detected, entering the factory-defaults recovery mode.
Waiting for the long press to confirm.

This also affected the SG-2440. This appears to not be smbus related, but simply a result of the reset button causing a non-full boot up.
Initializing.................... done.

Testing multiple times on these units, they still will factory reset just fine, so this appears to not be a critical stoppage, but it might cause issues depending on how many times the boot failure counter is tripped.

- Subject changed from Boot Failure Detection Tripping on 4200 Reset Button During Boot to Boot Failure Detection Tripping on Config Reset Button During Boot
This applies to all devices that have a hardware config reset button. The 4200 can be reset at any time which means it can be after boot to avoid this. All other devices can only reset during boot.

- Priority changed from Normal to High
- Target version set to 24.03
This prevents the hardware config reset working on anything that has multiple ZFS BE snapshots present to roll back to.

On the 4100 & 4200 as of
24.03-RC (amd64) built on Wed Apr 10 17:29:00 UTC 2024 FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT
I am no longer seeing this error. Leaving this open until a couple of other models are confirmed working as well.
