- <p>The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) provides
- boot- and run-time services for x86 and other computers. For
- the x86 architecture it replaces the legacy BIOS. This
- project will adapt the &os; loader and kernel boot process for
- compatibility with UEFI firmware, found on contemporary
- servers, desktops, and laptops.</p>
-
- <p>Ed and Nathan completed a number of integration tasks over
- the past three months. Nathan added a first-stage loader,
- boot1.efi, to support chain-loading the rest of the system
- from a UFS filesystem. This allows the UEFI boot process to
- proceed in a similar fashion as with BIOS boot. Nathan also
- added UEFI support to the &os; installer and release image
- creation script.</p>
-
- <p>The EFI framebuffer requires the <tt>vt(4)</tt> system
- console — a framebuffer driver is not implemented for
- the legacy <tt>syscons(4)</tt> console. Ed added automatic
- <tt>vt(4)</tt> selection to the UEFI boot path.</p>
-
- <p>Snapshots are now built as dual-mode images, and should boot
- via both BIOS and UEFI. Our plan is to merge the UEFI and
- <tt>vt(4)</tt> work to stable/10 to appear in &os;
- 10.1-RELEASE.</p>
