Hello,

I attempted to follow these steps using a mini install and this script as a base. After completing the listed procedure, upon reboot the OS splash appears and a single progress dot highlights followed by a black screen and loss of signal reported by my receiver. The OS however seems to be running because the ZFS array on this machine is still accessible from the network.

Luckily the server as a whole is in such a state that a full OS reinstall is an easy task if need be. However, if there's any troubleshooting that can be done to resolve this issue without such a measure I would appreciate the help.
