Hi,

Interesting; this is generally an indicator that your loader
(/boot/loader.efi in 12.0 EFI-land) is out-of-date with respect to
scripts. For that I'd go ahead and double-check that /boot/loader.efi
was actually updated *and* update the contents of the ESP -- that
particular change was paired with another one that stopped doing any
resizing in boot1.

Thanks,

Kyle Evans
