/boot is really on the EFI file system, which is a DOS file
system. Soft links are not supported. I've never seen this
before, but that's probably because I don't use modules.

Note also that this never shows up during a release build
and the error is probably ignored when installing FreeBSD.

The simple fix for this would be to not create the symlink
as I think it's mostly for backward compatibility anyway.
