Log:
The efifat files are no longer used: remove the code to build them

So what are now the instructions for updating an EFI partition, after a
buildworld? I used to find that efifat file quite handy, I could just
use gpart -p to write it into the EFI partition... :-/
-Dimitry
This is what I do:
mount -t msdosfs /dev/ada0p1 /mnt # (if that's the ESP, check with gpart
list)
cp /boot/loader.efi /mnt/EFI/FreeBSD/loader.efi
umount /mnt
This works if proper EFI boot variables have been set up. This can be
done with, it's only needed the first time, or if they are somehow
overwritten.
efibootmgr --create --activate --label FreeBSD --loader
/dev/ada0p1:/EFI/FreeBSD/loader.efi
Once again, check that /dev/ada0p1 is the ESP.
You can check your efi boot variables with efibootmgr -v
