FreeBSD doesn't boot automatically from UEFI

Hi.

Recently I've installed FreeBSD 10.3 as an experiment to get the 
UEFI-enabled system, on one of mine Supermicro servers. The installer 
worked just fine, but after insttallation I got myself a problem: it 
cannot boot. If I select to boot the old way, froma disk, BIOS says 
there's no valid boot device, and I guess i'ts as intended. When I 
select to boot to the UEFI shell, I got a listing of valid boot deviced 
identificators, and then an error:

===Cut===

'f??('is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable 
program or batch file

Exit status code: Invalid parameter

===Cut===

and the booting process bails to the shell itself.

When I enter

===Cut===

fs0:

EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI

===Cut===

FreeBSD boots just fine, but I would rather see it boots automatically.

So, is there any way for this to be resolved ?


Thanks.
