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.
