With a recent change I made for UEFI, we now install loader.efi onto the ESP and don’t run boot1. That means that /boot.config is no longer read, and so console settings need to be put in /boot/loader.conf. I was wondering if people will expect /boot.config to still be read and so code should be added to loader to continue to parse it, or if loader.conf can be considered the correct place and boot.config forgotten about? — Rebecca Cran From owner-freebsd-current@freebsd.org Fri Jan 18 03:02:52 2019 Return-Path: <owner-freebsd-current@freebsd.org> Delivered-To: freebsd-current@mailman.ysv.freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2610:1c1:1:606c::19:1]) by mailman.ysv.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 42BF0148B668 for <freebsd-current@mailman.ysv.freebsd.org>; Fri, 18 Jan 2019 03:02:52 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from david@catwhisker.org) Received: from mx.catwhisker.org (mx.catwhisker.org [198.144.209.73]) (using TLSv1.2 with cipher ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 (256/256 bits)) (Client did not present a certificate) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTPS id 37A426D110; Fri, 18 Jan 2019 03:02:50 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from david@catwhisker.org) Received: from albert.catwhisker.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by albert.catwhisker.org (8.15.2/8.15.2) with ESMTP id x0I32kBa026508; Fri, 18 Jan 2019 03:02:46 GMT (envelope-from david@albert.catwhisker.org) Received: (from david@localhost) by albert.catwhisker.org (8.15.2/8.15.2/Submit) id x0I32kTp026507; Thu, 17 Jan 2019 19:02:46 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from david) Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2019 19:02:46 -0800 From: David Wolfskill <david@catwhisker.org> To: Rebecca Cran <bcran@freebsd.org> Cc: FreeBSD Current <freebsd-current@freebsd.org> Subject: Re: UEFI, loader.efi and /boot.config Message-ID: <20190118030246.GV1142@albert.catwhisker.org> Reply-To: current@freebsd.org Mail-Followup-To: current@freebsd.org, Rebecca Cran <bcran@freebsd.org>, FreeBSD Current <freebsd-current@freebsd.org> References: <etPan.5c413a8a.7a8e2073.13b3@freebsd.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha512; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="Mm7SuNQsQ9gs8/y1" Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <etPan.5c413a8a.7a8e2073.13b3@freebsd.org> User-Agent: Mutt/1.11.2 (2019-01-07) X-Rspamd-Queue-Id: 37A426D110 X-Spamd-Bar: --------- Authentication-Results: mx1.freebsd.org; spf=pass (mx1.freebsd.org: domain of david@catwhisker.org designates 198.144.209.73 as permitted sender) smtp.mailfromÚvid@catwhisker.org X-Spamd-Result: default: False [-9.11 / 15.00]; ARC_NA(0.00)[]; HAS_REPLYTO(0.00)[current@freebsd.org]; NEURAL_HAM_MEDIUM(-1.00)[-1.000,0]; FROM_HAS_DN(0.00)[]; R_SPF_ALLOW(-0.20)[+ip4:198.144.209.73]; TO_MATCH_ENVRCPT_ALL(0.00)[]; MIME_GOOD(-0.20)[multipart/signed,text/plain]; DMARC_NA(0.00)[catwhisker.org]; REPLYTO_DOM_NEQ_FROM_DOM(0.00)[]; NEURAL_HAM_LONG(-1.00)[-1.000,0]; RCVD_COUNT_THREE(0.00)[3]; IP_SCORE(-3.71)[ip: (-9.77), ipnet: 198.144.192.0/19(-4.82), asn: 7961(-3.86), country: US(-0.08)]; TO_DN_ALL(0.00)[]; MX_GOOD(-0.01)[cached: mx.catwhisker.org]; RCPT_COUNT_TWO(0.00)[2]; RCVD_IN_DNSWL_NONE(0.00)[73.209.144.198.list.dnswl.org : 127.0.10.0]; NEURAL_HAM_SHORT(-0.99)[-0.993,0]; SIGNED_PGP(-2.00)[]; FROM_EQ_ENVFROM(0.00)[]; R_DKIM_NA(0.00)[]; MIME_TRACE(0.00)[0:+,1:+]; ASN(0.00)[asn:7961, ipnet:198.144.192.0/19, country:US]; RCVD_TLS_LAST(0.00)[] X-BeenThere: freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.29 Precedence: list List-Id: Discussions about the use of FreeBSD-current <freebsd-current.freebsd.org> List-Unsubscribe: <https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-current>, <mailto:freebsd-current-request@freebsd.org?subject=unsubscribe> List-Archive: <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/>; List-Post: <mailto:freebsd-current@freebsd.org> List-Help: <mailto:freebsd-current-request@freebsd.org?subject=help> List-Subscribe: <https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current>, <mailto:freebsd-current-request@freebsd.org?subject=subscribe> X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2019 03:02:52 -0000 --Mm7SuNQsQ9gs8/y1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Thu, Jan 17, 2019 at 07:31:38PM -0700, Rebecca Cran wrote: > > With a recent change I made for UEFI, we now install loader.efi onto the ESP and don’t run boot1.

Does the above only apply to UEFI booting, or also to booting from BIOS/MBR? If the latter, I'd be OK with the change as long as it's adequately publicized ahead of time (e.g., a src/UPDATING entry & -- ideally -- a "heads-up" in current@). If the former, I'm less opinionated: none of my personal machines boot UEFI. I'd tend to assume that changing to UEFI will involve some (other) changes to how I do things anyway. (My build machine uses /boot.config to default to "verbose" booting, dual-console.) Peace, david -- David H.
