Hello,

FreeBSD users who recently upgraded their system and those who frequently
circumvent bsdinstall to automate their FreeBSD installation may still use BIOS
boot. Besides, the EFI loader and the EFI boot manager are new enough to need a
FreeBSD boot partition for an alternate boot method via BIOS.

In such cases and other situations, it is possible for a user to run efibootmgr
while their system has been booted via BIOS.
