EXAMPLES
Updating loader.efi on the ESP
The following examples shows how to install a new loader.efi on the
ESP.
First, find the partition of type "efi":
# gpart list | grep -Ew '(Name|efi)'
1. Name: nvd0p1
type: efi
2. Name: nvd0p2
3. Name: nvd0p3
4. Name: nvd0p4
1. Name: nvd0
The name of the ESP on this system is nvd0p1.
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 /boot/efi
# cp /boot/loader.efi /boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi
# umount /boot/efi
