+ <body>
+ <p>The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, or 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>Over the last three months Ed and others refined the existing
+ UEFI support and merged it to the stable/10 branch for the
+ upcoming &os; 10.1 release.</p>
+
+ <p>To avoid the risk of a regression, the standard &os; 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>
