I followed the instructions:

# gpart list | grep -Ew '(Name|efi)'
1. Name: da0p1
    type: efi
    2. Name: da0p2
    3. Name: da0p3
    1. Name: da0

The manpage says:

"     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 (my system would be da0p1) /boot/efi
                 # cp /boot/loader.efi /boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi
                 # umount /boot/efi
"

However, on this system, /boot/efi is mounted at boot-time so I just copied it over.

( /dev/gpt/efiboot0 on /boot/efi (msdosfs, local) )

I first checked to make sure the file being copied over was newer and the right type

file /boot/loader.efi
/boot/loader.efi: PE32+ executable (EFI application) Aarch64, for MS Windows, 2 sections

ls -lah /boot/loader.efi
-r-xr-xr-x  2 root wheel  824K  6 Sep 14:47 /boot/loader.efi*

file /boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi
/boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi: PE32+ executable (EFI application) Aarch64, for MS Windows, 2 sections

ls -lah /boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root wheel  830K 25 Jul 07:58 /boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi*

copied it over, rebooted, but the error message persists. Do you have any other suggestions
please? thanks
