 So, I understand the initial problem but this causes a new one.
 efibootmgr is now confused when you ask to print the unix path of the
ESP because the device resolved is still ada0p1 (for example) and since
it's not mounted anymore as the label is used we can't discover the
path to the mounted ESP.
 Since it's now in 13.2 we've just noticed that at work.
 We will parse glabel but it's really horrible to parse and it be good
to have efibootmgr -E -p working again on a fresh install.

 Cheers,
