EFI partition not visible in EFI firmware settings
I just tried to install FreeBSD on my notebook. I created a partition of type EFI in the FreeBSD installer, however after installation boot fails. When i try to add a new EFI boot entry, my UEFI says it can't find any file system. What file system would i enter in the installer for the boot partition?

I have selected efi and FAT32 in the efi OPTIONS but not working

The ESP needs a FAT filesystem and it should be of type "ef00" in the output of
Code:
# gdisk -l /dev/adaX It could be that the disk has an MSDOS partition table ("MBR" type) — not all UEFI firmware implementations will support UEFI booting from such a device despite it being part of the official specification. A GUID partition table (GPT) is the only way to guarantee compatibility. Apologies but I'm not sure about the gpart(8) output; it's been a while since I tried FreeBSD (as you probably realised from my erroneous post in your other thread).

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_boot_process If osprober is installed and enabled, grub2 will usually find other operating systems. refind is reported to have good OS probing. The other issue is that you state you created the partition's manually. Even if the bootloader does not find the additional partition, if you kept a record of the partition set-up or went back and determined the partition tables with gdisk, you can manually set the path to the partitions in the bootloader. Another source of potential problems is that FreeBSD changed the bootloading chain between 12.2 and 13.0 https://www.freebsd.org/releases/13.0R/relnotes/ under BOOT LOADER CHANGES Quote:
