rancher migration in 11.3

[Triumph]

I'm up and running again but I used the instructions here and the already modified iso provided: https://blog.hugopoi.net/2020/03/01/install-rancheros-on-freenas-11-3/ You should be aware rancher is coming to end of life but since it does everything I need with minimal resources I'll keep it. At one point it was not finding the right initrd etc causing it to drop to grub so I redownloaded the iso and redid the steps from the beginning and it worked that time.

thanks for the information. I'm trying to now go through and create my own iso with the steps from that website, but i'm getting caught up on creating the mount points from the downloaded iso files.
For example:

sudo mount ubuntuserlive.iso tmpubuntu
mount: ubuntuserverlive.iso: Block device required

I've renamed the ubuntu file to match the ubuntuserverlive.iso and it's still not working for me.

any chance you have modified instructions from https://blog.hugopoi.net/2020/03/01/install-rancheros-on-freenas-11-3/ that work?
I've mounted the isos but now i'm getting a command that says "zsh: command not found: fallocate"

Why not just use the iso he provided where all that is done? if you get to the grub line hit whatever button it is that lets you edit the grub....go to initrd and delete the -whatever on it....then hit tab to let it autocomplete....it will find an older initrd....same with vmlinuz.

Start out with his iso and get it working...then you can try creating your own so you will know if it's an error made during iso creation.

thanks!
I didn't quite understand the create grub.cfg part, and then I re-read the comments section and also copied the vmlinuz and initd and now when I reboot it looks like everything is working fine. I don't get an EFI or grub prompt, just right into rancher@rancher prompt.
