Mention boot1.efi since it is an image of 800KB FAT filesystem stored as
/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI and it's capable of boot FreeBSD.

/boot/boot1.efifat is the 800 KB filesystem image. /boot/boot1.efi is the EFI bootloader application.
Also, boot1.efi is obsolete. We retain it only for special needs users: those with the bogus tiny ESP partitions and some really weird edge cases that loader.efi doesn't work for.
I have Ubuntu 20.10 and FreeBSD -current installed on my thinkpad laptop.
Linux's Grub2 is unable to boot FreeBSD directly from UEFI, I have to copy
the FreeBSD UEFI loader (/boot/boot.efi) into EFI partition.
You should copy loader.efi instead of boot1.efi since boot1 use is deprecated is what I meant. We should teach grub about UFS and maybe ZFS...

127 | Neither of these things are true. Bsdinstall has been updated, and gpart bootcode isn't used with EFI because these things aren't boot blocks but a program that needs to be installed in a special place |
