... As mentioned, a
relatively recent change to /boot is that it will no longer attempt to
load ffs.kmod.  If your kernel doesn't have ffs builtin, then you will
definitely see the error from above.  One way to test this; is to put
back the new /boot, stop the countdown, type "load ffs", then type
"boot".

Ah, yes, I missed that part.  That is definitely the problem.

Always best to update the kernel first :-)

Or even better, to read source-changes more closely!

In my case, I run everything as modules if possible, even ffs for /

So for me, the fix was to simply add

        load=ffs

at the top of my /boot.cfg
