I built a libstand and loader.efi, after upgrading the SDV box to the current B17A firmware and loader.efi basically does this: fs0:\> loader Console: EFI Console FreeBSD/ia64 EFI boot, Revision 0.1 (peter@mhostname time date of build) not found <hang> The before the EFI upgrade, it didn't print the " not found" message before the hang. This was at about 5am and I was out of time, so I didn't get much chance to tinker. As a bonus, the B117A upgrade killed the linux installation on the disk.. It now fails when lilo / eli start up with "_PRT not found" so something pretty close to that.
