--- Comment #7 from sjaguar at protonmail.com <sjaguar at protonmail.com> ---
Are there plans to include this patch with any FreeBSD release?

I just tested the following:

   menuentry FreeBSD-11.3{
      loader /efi/boot/fbsd_11.3.efi
      options "rootdev=disk0p13"
   }

and 

   menuentry FreeBSD-12.1{
      loader  /efi/boot/fbsd_12.1.efi
      options "rootdev=disk0p13:"
   }

to no avail.

fbsd_11.3.efi and fbsd_12.1.efi are the boot1.efi files included in
11.3-RELEASE and 12.1-RELEASE respectively.  Tested with the file included with
12.0-RELEASE), did not work either.

'currdev' enviornmanet variable ends up being set to a default value in all
cases: currdev=disk0p10:

By the way, also tested with:

menuentry FreeBSD-12.1{
   loader  /efi/boot/fbsd_12.1.efi
   options "currdev=disk0p13:"
}

same results.

Setting currdev manually indeed does the trick.
