Hehehe!  It happens!

It's different:

UEFI Interactive Shell v2.2
EDK II
UEFI v2.70 (EDK II, 0x00010000)
map: No mapping found.
Press ESC in 1 seconds to skip startup.nsh or any other key to continue.
Shell> pci
pci: Protocol - PciRootBridgeIo not found.
Shell>

I get straight to the UEFI shell, and it won't boot. In the UEFI options pages, the usual list of devices etc is missing:

/------------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|                                Boot Manager                                  |
\------------------------------------------------------------------------------/

                                                         Device Path :
   Boot Manager Menu                                     HD(1,GPT,58E6C0D3-86DB
                                                         -11EA-ADE5-F5837826388
   FreeBSD                                               B,0x28,0x64000)/\EFI\f
   UEFI Shell                                            reebsd\loader.efi

   Use the <^> and <v> keys to choose a boot option,
   the <Enter> key to select a boot option, and the
   <Esc> key to exit the Boot Manager Menu.

/------------------------------------------------------------------------------\

... but trying to boot just lands me back at the UEFI Shell.

Can I help in any way? I'm used to big build (but no good at building on Windows).

Oooh! Are you amenable to bribery? ;-)

Progress is progress!
