Thank you for your reply.
I think this problem seems to come from my PC's EUFI bug.

> 1. your external drive is MBR partition or GPT partition.

  GPT partitions.

> 2. what partitions are shown in rev2 patched boot1.efi.
>  2a you can't see external drive in boot1.efi's partition list. or
>  2b you see external drive in list, select it, but booted from internal

  Both of external and internal drive has only one partition of freebsd-boot
each, select menu was not displayed.

 /dev/da0p1 was EFI partition, but if it exist, my PC's UEFI menu has
broken, it may be bug on my PC. So 'gpart delete -i 1 da0' was excuted.

> 3 your external drive is connected via USB or eSATA.

  via USB

  I can remove win8.1pro and if I can select boot partitions for FreeBSD
without setting bootme, I will install 11.0-current to internal drive.

  My PC's EUFI is too buggy and sometimes halt on startup DELL logo when
changing the UEFI boot options. If it happens, I have to remove the battery and
remove the SSD with opening the case of PC, I don't want to change UEFI
options.
