--- Comment #38 from Graham Perrin <grahamperrin@gmail.com> ---
<https://www.freebsd.org/releases/12.2R/errata/#open-issues> will benefit from
a belated link to this bug 251866, or, at least, an outline of the loader.efi
issue. Keyword: 

* needs patch


(In reply to Warner Losh from comment #36)

I hesitate before closing this report only because of the regression keyword.

Given: 

a) 13.0-RELEASE <https://www.freebsd.org/releases/13.0R/> announced 
   more than two years ago

b) 12.4-RELEASE no longer recommended for new deployments

c) stable/12 reaching end of life in less than three months

d) the available resolution for users of supported versions of FreeBSD 12.⋯
   (upgrade to VMware vSphere ESXi 8.0 or greater)

– I do think that documentation and then closure will be reasonable.
