This method of updating the ESP is no longer recommended for new 12.x installations -- we now more carefully construct the ESP with an /EFI/FreeBSD/loader.efi where loader.efi is /boot/loader.efi. You will want to rebuild this as such, and that may fix part of your problem. > From memory, the partitions on ada0 and ada1 are as folows: > > 1 efi > 2 freebsd-boot > 3 freebsd-swap > 4 freebsd > p4 is a geli partition with zfs in it. > ada0p4.eli and ada1p4.eli form a mirrored zpool (called zroot).. > > The boot process no longer asks for a GELi password.

My completely uneducated guess is that it likely wasn't and we couldn't locate the zpool.cache -- the value of vfs.root.mountfrom should basically match the currdev format here, except without a trailing colon.
