My PC also got stuck at EFI. In my case, the problem appeared after I updated
the BIOS from version F39 to the newer F40/F41 for the Aorus Master X670E
motherboard. I initially thought it was caused by my Nvidia 1080 GPU, so I
replaced it with an AMD 7900 XTX, but that didn’t help. I checked whether the
CPU microcode was causing issues, but that wasn’t it either. Only downgrading
the BIOS back to version F39 solved the problem, and FreeBSD‑16‑current finally
started working. All the workarounds described in this thread didn’t
help—number of monitors, changing copy_staging, nothing… only the BIOS
downgrade fixes it. I tried with the patch and without the patch; the system
simply wouldn’t boot. I also tested UEFI enabled/disabled with no effect.
