The script as it is looks for partitions of type 'efi' which have a 
FreeBSD \efi\boot\boot${arch}.efi or \efi\freebsd\loader.efi, and if 
they exist it'll update them - the assumption being that booting FreeBSD 
already works, since it's been installed/configured via the installer or 
some other method.
