This didn't helped either.

At the end I did with the new USB disk:

# gpart delete -i 1 da0
# gpart destroy da0
# gpart create -s gpt da0
# gpart add -t efi -s 260M -l freebsd-efi da0
# gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -l extrootfs -s 256g da0
# newfs_msdos -F 32 -c 1 /dev/da0p1
# mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0p1 /mnt
# mkdir -p /mnt/EFI/BOOT
# cp /boot/loader.efi /mnt/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi
# umount /mnt

# newfs -U -L FreeBSD /dev/da0p2
# mount /dev/da0p2 /mnt
# mkdir /mnt/boot
# cp -Rp /boot/* /mnt/boot
# umount /mnt

With this the USB disk was presented in the laptop as boot device
and also the FreeBSD boot menue came up. I've still to fill
the /dev/da0p2 with the system.

I wanted to do this with:

# mount /dev/da0p2 /mnt
# cd /mnt
# dump -0Lauf - /dev/da1p2  | restore -rf -

but this take 24++ hours. So I will do in with:

# cd /usr/src
# make installworld  DESTDIR=/mnt
# make installkernel DESTDIR=/mnt
# make distrib-dirs  DESTDIR=/mnt
# make distribution  DESTDIR=/mnt
# ....

The produced layout is now:

# gpart list da0
