Please see https://reviews.freebsd.org/D36457

1. In order for loader.env to work, it seems like the partition needs
   to be created using `newfs_msdos` and NOT `newfs_msdos -F32 -c 1`
   like https://wiki.freebsd.org/UEFI recommends.
2. loader.efi skips the first argument passed into it, so simply specifying
   the option a second time should make it catch on (and still work once the
   bug is fixed):

    menuentry "FreeBSD 13" {
        icon /EFI/refind/icons/os_freebsd.png
        loader /EFI/freebsd/loader.efi
        options "rootdev=disk0p7: rootdev=disk0p7:"
    }
