It expects that there's only 1 EFI file system or otherwise that the loader is on the first EFI file system. If you type "show" at the bootloader prompt you'll see CURRDEV and BOOTDEV. Try setting CURRDEV, although I doubt it will work. Set it like this: set CURRDEV=fs1: > - at boot time, I must explicitly enter ufs:da1s2a to start FreeBSD. Why > can't it starts by itself? Because the kernel is not told about it. Set rootdev in loader.conf. (see /boot/defaults/loader.conf).
