           Summary: New FreeBSD EC2 Machines Don't Boot

           Version: 13.3-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any

Hi!

I *think* this only happens on smaller EC2 instances.  If I specify an instance
size that doesn't have enough memory for `freebsd-update` to complete, it runs
out of memory, the kernel panics, the instance reboots, and the whole thing
starts again.  When I'm using `freebsd-update` on older instances which are
small enough that `freebsd-update` can't run, I just turn on swap and then try
again.  However, all of the versions of FreeBSD that are current have
`firstboot_freebsd_update_enable="YES"`.  The instance never comes up
completely, so I can't add swap.
