I found this PR, Bug 229191, from June, 2018:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229191

It seems the problem has not been fixed. Indeed did I mount the ESP
via a GEOM label, /dev/gpt/efiboot0.


There is some code that tries to cope, but I ran out of time before it was
bulletproof.  You can use nda0p9:/path/in/fs instead. Assuming the esp is
on /dev/nda0p9.
