The EFI partition was there from day one.

My pleasure.

% fdisk da
******* Working on device /dev/da0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=2213 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=2213 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
    start 204834, size 35347011 (17259 Meg), flag 0
        beg: cyl 12/ head 191/ sector 22;
        end: cyl 164/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>

% gpt -rvv show da0
gpt show: /dev/da0: mediasize=18210037760; sectorsize=512;
blocks=35566480
gpt show: /dev/da0: MBR at sector 0
gpt show: /dev/da0: Pri GPT at sector 1
gpt show: error: bogus map
gpt show: unable to open device '/dev/da0': No such file or directory

Thanks,

Juan.
