Why use the pre-generated image at all when you can easily
create the EFI boot volume like this?

gpart add -t efi -l efi -a 512k -s 512k <device>
newfs_msdos /dev/gpt/efi
mount_msdosfs /dev/gpt/efi /mnt
mkdir -p /mnt/efi/boot
cp /boot/boot1.efi /mnt/efi/boot/bootx64.efi
umount /mnt


Kind regards,
Patrick
