Hi all together,

I have downloaded the memstick (link below), dd it to a usb stick, added the \
`installerconfig` (see below) to `/etc/installerconfig` and tried to install FreeBSD \
13.0-RELEASE automatically to a PC. After rebooting the system came not up, because \
the `efi` partition should be created by `bsdinstall` was empty and did not include \
the `bootx64.efi`. After mounting the `efi` partition, creating the directory and \
copied the `/boot/loader.efi` to `/efi/boot/bootx64.efi` the new installed system \
booted up.

After `mount -u -rw /`, adding some `f_dprintf` to \
`/usr/libexec/bsdinstall/bootconfig` and a manual installation with `bsdinstall \
                script /root/installerconfig | tee /root/installer.log` it generates \
                this log:
- https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/2105237

This log indicates me, that the `efi` partition is not mounted while the `bootconfig` \
script tries to copy the `loader` to it... see below the extract from the \
`installer.log`.
