% man 8 boot1.efi | tail -n 17
   Caveats
     •   The order in which file systems are tried is undefined.

     •   No encryption support is available.

     •   There's no way to interrupt the boot process to select booting from
         some other location.

     •   When configuring a serial console for FreeBSD, but not for UEFI, no
         output will show up on the serial console from boot1.efi.

     •   There's no support for marking partitions as the preferred one.  See
         gptboot.efi(8).

     •   There's no support for boot-once functionality.  See gptboot.efi(8).

Comment 2 Felix Johnson freebsd_triage 2021-10-01 20:41:59 UTC 
gptboot.efi(8) lives under stand/efi/gptboot/gptboot.efi.8
I do not know why it is not installed by default.

This needs a makefile patch, not a documentation patch.
