It currently does nothing except if there is one or more partitions of 
type 'efi' that contain a \efi\boot\boot${arch}.efi or 
\efi\freebsd\loader.efi that contain strings from the FreeBSD boot1.efi 
or loader.efi. Perhaps that's too much guessing, and we should only ever 
update /boot/msdos or /boot/efi or wherever we decide to mount it.
