preparing EFI loader for upgrade to 14.0-RELEASE

Hi all,

the server to be upgraded (per freebsd-update) has only a default bootstrap in its ESP:

root@db3:~ # efibootmgr -v
Boot to FW : false
BootCurrent: 000c
Timeout    : 1 seconds
BootOrder  : 0002, 000C, 0011, 000D
Boot0002* UEFI: Built-in EFI Shell VenMedia(5023b95c-db26-429b-a648-bd47664c8012)
+Boot000C* UEFI OS HD(1,GPT,b6a39bf6-f288-11e9-81c6-d05099d4bb99,0x28,0x64000)/File(\\EFI\\BOOT\\BOOTX64.EFI)
                     nvd1p1:/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI (null)
Boot0011* UEFI OS HD(1,GPT,b69156f5-f288-11e9-81c6-d05099d4bb99,0x28,0x64000)/File(\\EFI\\BOOT\\BOOTX64.EFI)
                     nvd0p1:/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI (null)
Boot000D  Hard Drive BBS(HD,,0x0)

Should I create a freebsd directory on the ESPs of both mirrored disks, i.e.:

mount_msdosfs /dev/nvd0p1 /boot/efi
cp /boot/loader.efi /boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi/bootx64.efi
mkdir /boot/efi/efi/freebsd
cp /boot/loader.efi /boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi
umount /boot/efi

mount_msdosfs /dev/nvd1p1 /boot/efi
cp /boot/loader.efi /boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi/bootx64.efi
mkdir /boot/efi/efi/freebsd
cp /boot/loader.efi /boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi
umount /boot/efi

Please advice.

Thanks, Axel
