It still works and it looks better with less error messages :-)

 the hint is about efipart_inithandles() returning 2, thats errno code for 
 ENOENT. congratz, you have hit the corner case:D
 
 Since efinet_dev is part of devsw, we can not skip the devswitch init with 
 such error, we still need to walk the list. Let me see if I can provide 
 quick fix.

Ok, so far so good. As seen from the screen dump, some cleanup is required, I 
do not think we should print about efipart_inithandles() in case of errno 2 - 
thats perfectly normal case if there are no block devices. Update commited:)

[Timo Völker]

Hi Toomas,

it seems your fix works here. Some of the error messages remain, but I was able 
to (pxe)boot without a USB stick plugged in.

https://ibb.co/g8Bkfe

Right after the moment from the screenshot, the FreeBSD boot manager showed up.

Thanks,

Timo

Once the fix is confirmed, I think it is worth MFC (I haven't checked 11 
source, however). I just want to be sure the provided patch will provide 
complete fix.

Hmm... that's less than great. Is this worth an MFC + 11.2 EN? I'd
suspect it's not an entirely common case at all, but loader.efi is
highly visible and actually updated in stable/11 (vs. soon-to-be
thrown on ESP in head.

It seems this issue is related to current as well. I did a quick test and got 
this output, while I tried to (pxe)boot FreeBSD current (without a USB stick
