I persume FreeBSD kernel does not support UEFI yet. Check whether any CONFIG_EFI equivalent option is there in FreeBSD's kernel config.Not yet. There used to be used a UEFI capable bootloader for IA64, but nothing has been really worked on for the amd64 architecture yet.

I dont have EFI bios what now? 40 weeks 3 days ago

The iso supports both BIOS boot and UEFI boot. Some firmwares have issues booting the isos which support both. Only in such cases should the UEFI boot support be removed.In a similar way it is also possible to create a UEFI-only bootable iso, but neither archiso nor archboot are built that way.

Strangely enough since yesterday or so that for no reason my pc was just not booting and the problem was somewhere between grub2 finishing and kernel starting up. After some iterations rebooting and trying again it would work.

Logical partitions means it's MBR-formatted and not GPT-formatted.For UEFI boot, GPT is recommended.https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UE … n_in_LinuxNote: It is recommended to use always GPT for UEFI boot as some UEFI firmwares do not allow UEFI-MBR boot.

My motherboards firmware must be out of date, because I couldn't get UEFI Shell v2 to work, and that's the one that includes bcfg command. Also, I couldn't boot anything other than my pendrive in UEFI mode.

When your setting up Arch with a UEFI BIos motherboard its easier if you boot through the UEFI shell on a usb disk then through the install cd. It cleans up a lot of headaches. Read the post below to find out how.https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=148155

It varies on different manufacturer motherboards.  I've got two recent ASRock mobos (different form factors) and the UEFI implementations on them are a bit different.   The better one, recognizes UEFI on a USB stick and gives the option to boot it as BIOS or UEFI.
