Try the latest 10.3-BETA1 image. That one should be recent enough.

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/10.3-BETA1/
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/10.3/

I don't use any loader.rc on the ESP. Just boot1.efi renamed to 
/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI. boot1.efi reads the bootfs property from the 
bootpool/rootpool, and navigates to the correct /boot directory to 
find everything else.
