      Mmm, well I would have expected that to be new enough but older systems can have an EFI partition that is too small.

      Try running gpart list and check the size. It should be at least 200MB. For example:

      1. Name: da0p1
         Mediasize: 272629760 (260M)
         Sectorsize: 512
         Stripesize: 0
         Stripeoffset: 20480
         Mode: r1w1e2
         efimedia: HD(1,GPT,c9024410-fde3-11ee-bfd2-0008a212ecd4,0x28,0x82000)
         rawuuid: c9024410-fde3-11ee-bfd2-0008a212ecd4
         rawtype: c12a7328-f81f-11d2-ba4b-00a0c93ec93b
         label: efiboot0
         length: 272629760
         offset: 20480
         type: efi
         index: 1
         end: 532519
         start: 40

          Hmm, is that system actually booting UEFI?

              Run sysctl machdep.bootmethod just to be sure it's booting UEFI. It's possible that partition was never formatted if not.

                      Is it mounted? How does it show in the output of df -hi?

                        If the filesystem is just smaller than the partition you may be able to fix that with the commands shown here:
