Presuming a self-hosted build was done and was installed to update that system, the updates could be done via: On armv7 (RPi2 v1.1 --or RPi2 v1.2 used with an armv7 kernel/world): # cp /boot/loader.efi /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/bootarm.efi On aarch64 (RPi2 v1.2 used with aarch64 kernel/world): # cp /boot/loader.efi /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/bootaa64.efi In other words, they are copies of the FreeBSD boot loader but under other path and naming conventions on the msdosfs that is involved. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
