Summary

When reinstalling FreeBSD bsdinstall reported "There are multiple FreeBSD EFI boot entries." This sounds like something went wrong in the past. Clarify that there may be only one existing entry, which is not surprising for a reinstall.

"EFI boot entries" --> "EFI boot manager entries" maybe? That way it's clear what we're talking about. Otherwise, I love the new wording.. it's a big improvement.
