Okay, I've confirmed this on a second server now. Kernel 7.0.0-42 is fine, 7.0.0-43 does not boot. The fix is to disable cloud-init before rebooting.
Check if it's enabled: `cloud-init status` and if it is, disable with `touch /etc/cloud/cloud-init.disabled`.

I don’t get what you’re not getting. If you google something like “setting environment variables in red hat on cloud-init” you’re going to get the AI result which is just a rip of stack overflow. You’re using AI if you read the summary and go type “export MYVAR=“foo””

That said I tried to use opnsense and pfSense for a test environment project at work last week and found it a bit annoying to bootstrap with cloud-init, and then neither have official Ansible modules so ended up going with Rocky Linux then using firewalld and dnsmasq. Will see how that goes.
