The OP is attempting to boot off an external USB drive via loader.env.
So it's the external drive's partitioning system that is of interest.
FYI, my RPI3 boots off a GPT partition fine:
1.topaz:~,8:30am# uname -a
FreeBSD topaz.inside.chen.org.nz 12.1-STABLE FreeBSD 12.1-STABLE #0
r358927: Sun Mar 15 22:24:30 NZDT 2020
jonc@onyx.inside.chen.org.nz:/xbuilds/rpi3/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/sys/GENERIC
arm64
1.topaz:~,8:30am# gpart show -l da0
=> 40 976773088 da0 GPT (466G)

Cheers.
