Previous to now, installworld has not updated the boot blocks. You've had to manually run 'gpart bootcode' to change the boot blocks. However, those boot blocks mostly just loaded /boot/loader, which was updated by installworld. So I can see how this is not directly analogous. I wouldn't depend on the /etc/fstab entry existing. I am not sure I want installworld randomly fobbing around in my EFI partition. Especially if, for example, my EFI/BOOT is not FreeBSD, but rEFInd or something. -- Allan Jude
