--- Comment #8 from Torfinn Ingolfsen <tingox+freebsd@gmail.com> ---
Doesn't work in FreeBSD 13.0-release-p11 either. Tested with entries like t=
hese
menuentry "FreeBSD 12" {
    icon /EFI/refind/icons/os_freebsd.png
    loader /EFI/freebsd/loader.efi
    options "rootdev=3Ddisk0p7"
}
in /boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf. The entries show up in rEFInd, and I h=
ave
verified that rEFInd picks up the rootdev variable (it does). Also tried wi=
th
"rootdev=3Ddisk0p7:" doesn't change anything.

A cursory check seems to indicate that loader should have support for rootd=
ev

root@kg-quiet:~ # strings /boot/efi/EFI/freebsd/loader.efi | grep rootdev
uefi_rootdev
rootdev
    Setting currdev to configured rootdev %s
root@kg-quiet:~ # strings /boot/loader.efi | grep rootdev
uefi_rootdev
rootdev
    Setting currdev to configured rootdev %s
root@kg-quiet:~ # strings /boot/loader_lua.efi | grep rootdev
uefi_rootdev
rootdev
    Setting currdev to configured rootdev %s

but it doesn't work. Setting currdev manually works of course.
