If I have more than one freebsd-ufs partition, how can I configure boot1.efi (AKA /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI) to boot the loader from a particular partition, not from the first one? 2. Why are /boot/boot1.efi and /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI (extracted from boot1.efifat) so different, even different length? They are supposed to be one and the same file, aren't they? -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN AS43859
