bsdinstall no detecting existing EFI partition

[krad]

this is the layout of my working efi system

# df -h .
Filesystem     Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ada0p2    767K    130K    637K    17%    /boot/efi
# mount | grep /dev/ada0p2
/dev/ada0p2 on /boot/efi (msdosfs, local)
# find .
.
./efi
./efi/boot
./efi/boot/bootx64.efi

# gpart show ada0
=>       34  117231341  ada0  GPT  (56G)
         34       1024     1  freebsd-boot  (512K)
       1058          6        - free -  (3.0K)
       1064     262144     2  efi  (128M)
     263208    3932154     4  freebsd-swap  (1.9G)
    4195362  113036013     3  freebsd-zfs  (54G)

the boot dir is the default efi boot but i can have other options by having
other directories with different bootx64.efi files in IIRC
