there are several manuals, boot(1M), gptzzfsboot(5), loader(5).

in your case, the problem starts from the  fact that we do not get information about partitions, on screenshot, all disks are listed without partitioning information.

We would like to see something like:

disk0:	BIOS drive C (….)
  disk0p1:  EFI		256MB
  disk0p2: ….

and so on. I’m not really sure what did happen while usb image was written to the stick, but something seems to be wrong there. Does windows see any partitions there?
