The branch main has been updated by cperciva: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=bcf9147144f3499976a623f92712ecd0aca71912 commit bcf9147144f3499976a623f92712ecd0aca71912 Author: Colin Percival <cperciva@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2023-06-07 22:17:12 +0000 Commit: Colin Percival <cperciva@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2023-06-14 18:31:10 +0000 EC2: Default to "uefi-preferred" boot mode In EC2, UEFI boots faster than BIOS, but not all amd64 instance types support UEFI. AMIs need to have their boot mode designated, which created a dilemma: Faster boots, or wider compatibility? The recently added "uefi-preferred" option solves this: AMIs can be marked to use UEFI where it's available, but fall back to BIOS on instance types which do not support UEFI. This uses bsdec2-image-upload 1.4.6, which recently landed in the ports tree.
