What shows if you do the likes of (showing an amd64 context example): # ls -lah /boot/efi/efi/*/* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 643K Aug 24 05:32 /boot/efi/efi/BOOT/bootx64.efi -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 643K Aug 24 05:32 /boot/efi/efi/FREEBSD/loader.efi If one is old, then it is probably the one actually being used. (The name bootx64.efi is amd64 specific: other platforms use other names.) In such a case, you might need something like: # cp -a /boot/loader.efi /boot/efi/efi/BOOT/bootx64.efi
I have the same issue in a completely different context: 1. amd64 not arm64 2. a vm running in bhyve, not baremetal 3. the host is 15.0-CURRENT #0 n270917-5dbf886104b4 amd64 1500019 1500019 zfs-on-root built July 4th. 4. the guest is 13.4-STABLE stable/13-n258323-e7b4f6e0c064 amd64 1304500 1304500 zfs-on-root 5. on the guest :- % gpart list | grep -Ew '(Name|efi)' 1. Name: vtbd0p1 2. Name: vtbd0p2 3. Name: vtbd0p3 1. Name: vtbd0 on the guest, there is no ESP in this case, no bootx64.efi, /boot/efi is empty After source building to latest stable in the usual way, same error message 'loader needs updating'. Any ideas? --
