It seems that the new version is there not included. I tried with the loader.efi from base.txz from: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/amd64/amd64/11.0-CURRENT/ it boots fine. If I use beadm for my ZFS I expect that I have to manually edit the loader.rc from the efi partition to load the correct environment or? Thanks for this tip!
