Standard setup being /boot/loader.efi in place and boot1.efi copied over to your ESP. I *think* this might help your situation, but I've no real idea. If I know what I'm doing (which I don't), then this patch should (maybe?) force your screen down into a lower resolution prior to drawing the menu then reset it once more before it prints resolution information and executes the kernel. Maybe it'll fix it? Thanks, Kyle Evans [1] https://people.freebsd.org/~kevans/loader.diff
