            Bug ID: 244906
           Summary: kernel booted by loader.efi on VMware Fusion in EFI
                    firmware
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: fdupont@isc.org

It is a known issue generic to some VMware products
(https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/drxqlm/failed_to_do_efi_boot_on_=
a_vmware_virtual_machine/f6om6p2/)
and restoring a previous version of /boot/loader.edi works well.

So the bug is between 13.0-CURRENT loader.efi and VMware EFI firmware.

Unfortunately VMware does not give information (other than the firmware
crashes) so I am afraid the bug will be hard to find. BTW I have a pretty f=
ast
host so I can help.
