I am seeing this message on all my 13.4 systems (all upgraded from source via "make installworld" & friends). So far it didn't appear to induce any malfunctions, so I decided to ignore it (systems aren't supposed to be rebooted often). Recently I've seen this message, and also another message shown before the loader appears, only for a fraction of a second, apparently coming from the EFI stuff, on my laptop. And since I was sitting on the train with nothing to do, I had a look into the efi filesystem, and found the loader there being from 2022. The laptop does boot via EFI, only - and the efi filesystem could not be updated via "make installworld" (even if it would try, which it doesn't), because it is normally not mounted. So I grabbed the according loader executable from /boot, which apparently is up-to-date, and copied it into the efi filesystem. It didn't help anything. > This system is *not* root-on-zfs.
