That turned out to be very interesting: The non-ZFS loader
crashes during the listing, during disk8, which shows a
x0 instead of a x512.

I expect that "disk8" is what gpart show -p
from a native boot showed as:

=>       1  60062499    da1  MBR  (29G)
        1        31         - free -  (16K)
       32  60062468  da1s1  fat32lba  (29G)

(That gpart show -p output is in another of the
list messages.)

> Also if you could test boot loader with UEFI - for example get to loader prompt via usb/cd boot and then get the same lsdev -v output.

Still true given the above crash? Or, going the
other way, should "drive8" be left as it is in
order to be sure to do this test with the drive
present?

If I do this test later, it will take a bit to
get media to do it with. (It is about 4AM in the
morning and I've yet to get to sleep.)

Note: I've never tried a UEFI based boot of FreeBSD
on this machine (but the Windows 10 Pro x64 is EFI
based). The only FreeBSD context using a EFI partition
to boot that I have used is on an arm aarch64
Cortex-A57 system.

Understood.

> If it does, I’d like to see the outputs from commands:

> zpool import

Independent of the UEFI test . . .

I do have a -r331924 head version on another one
of the devices and can native-boot that. It still
has its ZFS software (but a default loader without
ZFS).

Trying from that context, hand transcribed:

# zpool status
ZFS filesystem version: 5
ZFS storage pool version: features support (5000)
no pools available
# zpool import
#

[That was based on the old (default) loader being
a non-ZFS one.]
