The host boots from a zmirror pair. The second of which did not have a file system.
Two theories:
1 - the original install (14.0) did not do the right thing with the second drive - theory seems weak
2 - would stamping boot code to -i1 give the results we saw? Unlikely event
The fix:
* copy over these files:
- /efi/freebsd/loader.efi
- /efi/boot/bootx64.efi
* create a filesystem on the 2nd drive
Not sure in which order that was done.

Rebooted a #FreeBSD 14.1 host. Upgraded from 14.0 last Tuesday (or so) via freebsd-update. Reboots then were fine. However, today, we get this (see screenshot).
failed to find bootable partition
BIOS boot mode is UEFI mode
Via live CD, disks/partitions seem OK
