Re: FreeBSD 14.1 and UEFI boot ignores bootme flag

If your rootfs is ZFS then you need to use loader.efi with the caveat that 
it doesn't honour the bootme flag.

My UEFI systems are clones of my original systems. I use UFS root/usr with 
ZFS for everything else. gptboot.efi and loader.efi work equally as well in 
my scenario.
