I'm sorry for the late reply, I'm currently swamped with
work (not FreeBSD-related).

It's true I'm working on the graphics support for the
boot loader.  Development is done in the P4 repository
first.  As soon as I have something for public test,
I will post an RFT to the -current list.  I plan to
provide a .tar.gz that can simply be dropped in /boot,
so everyone can participate in the test easily.  It
should work with both 8-current and 7-stable.

I'm only asking for a little bit of patience, because
my free time for working on this is currently very
limited.

Best regards
   Oliver
