my partition after complete the freebsd installation

When OS is successfully installed, it would have the relavant directory such Ubuntu and Microsoft in the EFI System Partition. The freebsd cann't normal generate the analogous directory while I configure all space in /, but when I use create item, it will generate the second EFI System Partition and the allocate space to /, in such situation, the freebsd can generate in the second EFI System Partition.

Ubuntu : /efi/ubuntu/bootx64.efi
Gentoo : /efi/Gentoo/bootx64.efi
For FreeBSD: /efi/boot/bootx64.efi
But what is "boot"? I think it's should be "FreeBSD".

What version did you install? On a fresh installation of a -CURRENT snapshot my created ESP contains exactly one file:

EFI/freebsd/loader.efi

I assume 12-STABLE. Same here for 12.
Comment 4 Warner Losh freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-09-14 21:18:33 UTC 
We should install /efi/freebsd/loader.efi always. And if there's no /efi/boot/bootXXX.efi, we should install loader.efi as that as a fallback for systems that don't grok efibootmgr configuration.

> 12.1-STABLE

Reproducible with 13.2-RELEASE, 14.0-BETA2, or 15.0-CURRENT?

(I suspect not.)

This has been fixed
