I did actually try that.  Here's a segment of what the EFI shell displays
at startup:

EFI Shell version 1.10 [14.61]
Device mapping table
  fs0  : Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Primary,Master)/CDROM(Entry0)
  fs1  : Acpi(HWP0002,100)/Pci(1|1)/Scsi(Pun2,Lun0)/HD(Part1,SigE696C346-032D-11D8-8002-D6217B60E588)

Unfortunately, the FreeBSD device is Scsi(Pun0,Lun0) -- do I have to
explicitly add it to the device mapping table?

Is there documentation somewhere that describes exactly what files need
to be copied?  I suspect that's my problem, although I've no clue what
I did wrong.  :)

Cheers! /gdm
