The Handbook may be a source of confusion.

In the ZFS chapter, the warning under <https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/zfs/#zfs-zpool-upgrade> states:

For systems using EFI to boot, execute the following command:

# gpart bootcode -p /boot/boot1.efifat -i 1 ada1

261212 – Update the ZFS chapter of the FreeBSD Handbook, and other OpenZFS-related pages


Another possible source of confusion: for gpart(8), are the examples at <https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=gpart&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+14.2-RELEASE#EXAMPLES> outdated?

Compare with <https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=gpart&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+14.2-RELEASE#EXAMPLES> for loader.efi(8).
