Hi,

The man page for boot.cfg(5) states that its support is currently only 
for i386 and amd64. But I really wanted to have a custom bootloader 
menu, took a look on sys/stand/efiboot/boot.c and found out that the 
UEFI bootloader could actually read and use /boot/boot.cfg where /boot 
is the EFI system partition.

So the man page is inaccurate to some extent. It indeed doesn't read 
/boot.cfg from the FFS root but it does read cfg from /boot. I don't 
know much about UEFI so I don't know what to do. Should we correct the 
man page, modify efiboot so that it reads cfg from /, or...?
