+ <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>

- <p>Over the last three months Ed and others refined the existing
- UEFI support, and merged it to the stable/10 branch for the
- upcoming FreeBSD 10.1 release.</p>
-
- <p>To avoid the risk of a regression, the standard FreeBSD 10.1
- install images continue to use the existing partitioning scheme
- and support only legacy BIOS boot. Separate UEFI-enabled
- installer images will be included with 10.1.</p>
