            Bug ID: 242848
           Summary: Failed install with large (1GB) EFI partition
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org

Attempting to install FreeBSD with a 1GB EFI partition results in a system that
cannot boot.

I created the following partitions:
  size type mount label
   1GB efi  (n/a) boot
  20GB swap (n/a) swap
  93GB ufs  /     root

Installation appears to succeed, however the machine is incapable of booting.

(I was only able to get the system booting by using partly guided partitioning
and accepting the 200MB boot partition that wanted to create.
https://wiki.freebsd.org/UEFI suggests there may be a limit to the maximum size
the EFI partition may have?)
