I haven't used bsdinstall since 9.0-BETA1; I subsequently built from source.

Does bsdinstall script actually do newfs_msdos on the EFI system partition?  1M 
seems quite small, if you want the possibility of booting other OSes.

Shouldn't the EFI system partition be the first partition on the disk?  Why 
have both freebsd-boot and efi partitions?

I never got the freebsd-boot partition to work except on a USB stick where 
FreeBSD was the only OS installed.

Now, if I were installing FreeBSD onto a USB stick, I would use an EFI system 
partition (FAT16, maybe even FAT12 would work, would be too small for FAT32) 
and no freebsd-boot partition.

Booting by UEFI would not use or need a freebsd-boot partition.
