But it has changed bytesize when I recompiled world with recent sources com=
pared to the
boot.efi size from the USB image I installed from (revision see above).

How to update bootcode on UEFI layout? I created a GPT partition with type =
efi (1 GB) as
well as a 512KB partition typed freebsd-boot.

I'm new to EFI and the way the notebook now behaves is really strange. Whil=
e the USB
drive image used to boot with new console enabled, it now boots again with =
the old
console and 800x640 resolution. This might indicate some minor but very eff=
ective mistake
I made.
