part1: works for me.

I'm still confused by having 2 loader.efi:

# ls -al /efi/FreeBSD/loader.efi
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  611689 Jan 27 22:12 /efi/FreeBSD/loader.efi
# ls -al /boot/loader.efi
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  611689 Jan 27 22:08 /boot/loader.efi
#

What I understood from your post is that /efi is only used for loader.efi,
all boot files are under /boot, correct?
So can I delete /boot/loader.efi?

many thanks for your hard work!
