--- Comment #12 from rallenh at hotmail.com ---
I wasn't updating the EFI partition after rebuilding and installing. I updated
my EFI boot with:
sudo gpart bootcode -p /boot/boot1.efifat -i 1 mfid0

It looks like EFI_DEBUG is being turned on? Here's an output from 12-STABLE
build and updated boot block:

I am now able to boot on 12-STABLE with these two settings my
/boot/loader.conf:
beastie_disable="YES"
vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:/dev/mfid0p2"

I can tell that something still isn't right even though I can boot to
multi-user with those settings. I get this after loader.efi (I think) hand-off:

/boot/kernel/kernel text=0x16bc864 data=0x140 data=0x75fe80
syms=[0x8+0x17e098+0x8+0x19bdd7]
Loading configured modules...
/etc/hostid size=0x25

Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel]...

There is a '/boot/entropy' in my /boot:
117 1566758595 -rw------- 1 root wheel 3128999143 4096 "Sep 12 21:48:11 2020"

0x1 /boot/entropy

Sometimes I will get a similar error for /etc/hostid. That file exists as well:
117 1221175408 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2438831983 37 "Sep 14 01:57:14 2020"
"Sep 12 21:51:56 2020" "Sep 12 21:51:56 2020" "Sep 12 21:51:56 2020" 32768 8 0
/etc/hostid


I have removed the EFI boot menu I manually added. I also can't boot into the
Beastie Menu but at least I can boot without alot of ceremony.
