EFI loader 12.2 and 13.1

Please tell me if there were any significant changes in the EFI bootloader from versions 12.2 and 13.1? It has a motherboard with unknown characteristics. There was an attempt to install FreeBSD 13.1 on it, and at the stage of loading the start menu, the PC reboots or freezes, the inscriptions of the kernel and modules initialization are very slow. But when I tried to install 12.2 everything worked fine, but the size of the EFI bootloader is limited. Were there any changes that caused such problems? Tried to move bootx64.efi from 12.2 to 13.1. The system has at least begun to boot the kernel, but it cannot read the file system.

The fact you get to see the boot menu means the boot loader works. The boot menu is presented by loader(8)/loader.efi(8).

I don't understand what could be the problem. On the forums they write that there is a bug in loader.efi and a code on how to fix it. But this solution didn't work for me. Although the bootloader starts, it may show the logo for a few seconds and go into reboot.
 
Maybe if you actually told us what issues or errors you're having?

What I have described is exactly what is happening. FreeBSD 13+ won't boot in EFI mode. I can see the logo for a few seconds and the system goes into reboot. There are no logs or error indicators. The only thing there is a non-bootable system. Version 12 of FreeBSD will boot into EFI, but it is not promising to roll back versions. For me, the problem is visible in loader.efi, but what exactly I have not understood.
 
I'm sure there's something being printed on the screen, but it might only be visible very shortly before the reboot. What hardware do you have?
