So, the outcome of all that is: I installed FreeBSD on all of a 500G
SSD. With some looking was able to install and use a desktop system
(Mate), configure Wifi, the system clock, etc. But I would really
like to be using TDE.
There are several posts from years back by people trying to port TDE
programs to FreeBSD. I have some software experience and would be
glad to help if possible.

Ok, then you are at the same status with grub as I am. In the end I went the other way
round and added GRUB to FreeBSD bootloader :-)

Hi Nik,
Thanks for the earlier reply. I have tried various things with grub,
etc... without success. I will put this on hold for now and do more
research. Hello,
Now running TDE under Devuan ascii. SSD has lots of empty space in
which I installed FreeBSD 12 from USB. But it didn't install the boot
selection menu.
Entered the Live Disk command line and tried using boot0cfg, which
created a minimal menu - to boot I still have to keep the USB plugged
in.
At startup I need to find a way to run FreeBSD on the SSD to be able
to install TDE, etc. Any ideas?
Robert
Could you pleas provide some more detailed information?
GRUB is installed on /dev/sda, grub.cfg is on /dev/sda1/boot/<...>, FreeBSD is on
/dev/sda2 | /dev/ada0p2s* ? You are trying to boot from grub? Does the grub chainloader
manage to boot the FreeBSD bootloader?
