I can use efibootmgr from FreeBSD 12-STABLE or HEAD, or possibly bcfg in the built-in UEFI shell.

I notice the close relation between what efibootmgr shows and what I see on the boot menu.

UEFI shell is not user-friendly, but I am slowly learning new things.

Severe thunderstorm is now threatening this area, I hear the winds increasing.
