Updating from old hardware - New install hangs

Just as the title states, I’m updating my old hardware to new hardware as the old hardware isn’t working. After running non-stop for a few years, I’m not surprised.

I downloaded CORE 13.0-U6.2. I’m trying to boot from USB to new NVME. I downloaded a fresh copy. Used Rufus (and Etcher) to “burn” to a bootable USB.

Upon going into the console view, it appears the install gets stuck on:

Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/md0.uzip [rw]…

Dual Console: Serial Primary Video Secondary

And this is where I’m stuck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’m trying to salvage my old pool from the previous TrueNAS instance. I thought just swapping hardware and installing a new copy of TrueNAS wouldn’t be that big a deal. Evidently, I’m sorely mistaken. I’m willing to answer any questions you might have. I don’t know what the group needs to know.
