I followed the instructions:
# gpart list | grep -Ew '(Name|efi)'
1. Name: da0p1
type: efi
2. Name: da0p2
3. Name: da0p3
1. Name: da0
The manpage says:
" Second, let's mount the ESP, copy loader.efi to the special location
reserved for FreeBSD EFI loaders, and unmount once finished:
# mount_msdosfs /dev/nvd0p1 (my system would be da0p1) /boot/efi
# cp /boot/loader.efi /boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi
# umount /boot/efi
"
However, on this system, /boot/efi is mounted at boot-time so I just copied it over.
( /dev/gpt/efiboot0 on /boot/efi (msdosfs, local) )
I first checked to make sure the file being copied over was newer and the right type
file /boot/loader.efi
/boot/loader.efi: PE32+ executable (EFI application) Aarch64, for MS Windows, 2 sections
ls -lah /boot/loader.efi
-r-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 824K 6 Sep 14:47 /boot/loader.efi*
file /boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi
/boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi: PE32+ executable (EFI application) Aarch64, for MS Windows, 2 sections
ls -lah /boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 830K 25 Jul 07:58 /boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi*
copied it over, rebooted, but the error message persists. Do you have any other suggestions
please? thanks
