Ah - that doesn't seem to match the FreeBSD usage of bootme - do we
have something comparable to that?
https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=gptboot&apropos=0&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+13.2-RELEASE+and+Ports&arch=default&format=html

Our gpt(8) states "bootme flag is used to indicate which partition
should be booted by UEFI boot code", which could be read either way.
