I apparently did clobber the EFI partition when trying out Intel's EFI tools. The thing that took me I while to understand is how I could boot my machine in the first place (which also got me to believe it must be FreeBSD). It so happens that the EFI loader tries all preconfigured boot options in until it finds one that works. Since the first failed (the EFI partition based boot), it fell back to the second, which is a netboot. That normally always works. Anyway: I was able to rebuilt my EFI partition so all is well.
