Multi-boot

I have previous FreeBSD experience, but have been inactive for a few years.
I used to partition disks with an MBR, and install multiple OSes and
FreeBSD had a boot manager (now known as boot0) that allowed me to
select which OS to boot.
I now have a new machine that uses UEFI and I can't figure out how to
mimic the multi-boot menu.
It appears to me that I can no longer use boot0 because I'm using amd64,
not i386.
I want to use EFI, GPT, and select OSes from a menu. The efibootmgr man
page appears to be incorrect. I tried the example and it caused a
syntax error. There is no -d option (the command said -d ada0)
I was hoping to add another EFI variable and hoped it would allow me to
select which partition to boot. I'm using FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE.
