It worked for me also once, but then I deleted all GPT partitions and repeated the installation process. Created the same partitions, same names, same order, etc. After this, the issue came back. I checked all partition names and verified correct boot.cfg was loaded. The configuration looks OK to me, but fails to boot into the correct root partition. So, it sort of worked but not as reliably as I expected. I'm using NetBSD-11_RC2 and FreeBSD Bhyve hypervisor with UEFI. May be there is some weird interaction with Bhyve UEFI implementation, however I don't have time to debug this now, and may come back to it later and open a bug if I find anything interesting. I'm going to create "root-main" as the first FFS partition and have bootloader find it by default. When I need to boot into a backup diagnostic "root-diag" partition, I can manually do this via bootloader command line.
