Until today I also did not have any trouble. In Novmeber 2018 I installed 12-CURRENT (or 12-RC) with a ZFS filesystem on a new SSD and everything worked fine - until today, when I was so insane to copy the most recent 12-STABLE loader.efi into the ESP and adjusted the efiboot vartiable accordingly. This Lenovo firmware seems very reluctant or the efibootmgr doesn't operate properly on setting variables: when trying to label the boot number (e.g. Boot000A) with "-L FreeBSD", it is always set back to "Boot000A ATA HDD0". On other platforms, like Fujitsu servers or even the cheap crap from ASRock a label once set is permenent until deleted. > > If there's a way to get into the EFI shell on Lenovo's laptops from the > BIOS during the boot I've not found it yet.

Maybe there is more to discover ... Thanks anyway, but I have to postpone the efforts until tomorrow evening ... Regards oh - -- O.
