+ <body>
+ <p>A number of UEFI bug fixes were committed over the last
+ quarter, further improving compatibility with different UEFI
+ implementations. Specifically, on some implementations, &os;
+ failed to boot with an "ExitBootServices() returned
+ 0x8000000000000002" error. This has been fixed with a retry
+ loop (as required by UEFI), in r292515 and r292338.</p>
+
+ <p>UEFI improvements from other developers have recently been
+ commited or are in progress. These include support for environment
+ variables set on the EFI loader command line, improved text console
+ mode setting, support for nvram variables, and root-on-ZFS
+ support.</p>
