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.

+ +

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.

+ + + + The FreeBSD Foundation + + + + +

Test &os;-CURRENT snapshots on a variety of UEFI + implementations.

 + + +

Merge UEFI changes to stable/10, for &os; + 10.3-RELEASE.
