Hi all together, I have downloaded the memstick (link below), dd it to a usb stick, added the `installerconfig` (see below) to `/etc/installerconfig` and tried to install FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE automatically to a PC. After rebooting the system came not up, because the `efi` partition should be created by `bsdinstall` was empty and did not include the `bootx64.efi`. After mounting the `efi` partition, creating the directory and copied the `/boot/loader.efi` to `/efi/boot/bootx64.efi` the new installed system booted up. After `mount -u -rw /`, adding some `f_dprintf` to `/usr/libexec/bsdinstall/bootconfig` and a manual installation with `bsdinstall script /root/installerconfig | tee /root/installer.log` it generates this log: - https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/2105237 This log indicates me, that the `efi` partition is not mounted while the `bootconfig` script tries to copy the `loader` to it... see below the extract from the `installer.log`.
