Interesting. So then RELENG-12 is not "Standards" compliant. While 13-CURRENT is?
IOW I attempted in early October to install each of the (13-CURRENT) install
images available. Both on a 500Gb disk, and a 1Tb disk. All w/o success. In
desperation, I settled for the then (most recent) RELENG-12. 12 installed
as all previous FreeBSD installs have done successfully.
So something in (recent) 13' boot layout has changed. I can boot Legacy/UEFI/GPT
on 12. But cannot boot at all in recent 13.
Following is the output of the RELENG-12 disk, as well as 13-CURRENT:
