Right.
OTOH I have standard GPT installation (pmbr + gptzfsboot) and during boot I am
presented with a choice which _hard disk_ to boot from. I didn't do anything
special for that. Not exactly a boot manager, but OK for me.
I'd be quite happy to have something like that, do you have any idea
what's doing that for you? I suspect it is your BIOS, as I don't get
that choice and AFAIK I also have a standard GPT installation - I
literally followed the examples in man gpart up to the point where
freebsd-ufs partitions are added.
This is my partition layout:
dalroi:bommel > gpart show ada0
=> 34 625142381 ada0 GPT (298G)
