You have been subscribed to a public bug:

On last system upgrade I dropped on a Grub prompt .

After hours spent on internet from my smartphone, I managed to boot on
my zroot fs with the following procedure :


NOTE : the following errors have been OCR-ized from pictures taken with smartphone, and most typos have been fixed (please forgive me for those remaining)


```
grub> set root=(hd1.gpt3)
grub> linux /BOOT/ubuntu.p8Ss19/@/vmlinuz root=ZFS=rpool/ROOT/ubuntu.p85s19 boot=zfs
grub> initrd /BOOT/ubuntu.p85s19/@/initrd.img 
grub> boot
```

I don't know if it's related , but errors start appearing while
installing new packages :

```
Processing triggers for man-db (2.9.1-1) ...
ZSys is adding automatic system snapshot to GRUB menu
Error Service took too long to respond. Disconnecting client
```

I would like to fix this boot error and any attempts I made with grub
commands failed to this previous prompt.

Thank you for any hint or track you could provide.

Regards,
