The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) provides - boot- and run-time services for x86 and other computers. For - the x86 architecture it replaces the legacy BIOS. This - project will adapt the &os; loader and kernel boot process for - compatibility with UEFI firmware, found on contemporary - servers, desktops, and laptops.

- -

Ed and Nathan completed a number of integration tasks over - the past three months. Nathan added a first-stage loader, - boot1.efi, to support chain-loading the rest of the system - from a UFS filesystem. This allows the UEFI boot process to - proceed in a similar fashion as with BIOS boot. Nathan also - added UEFI support to the &os; installer and release image - creation script.

- -

The EFI framebuffer requires the vt(4) system - console — a framebuffer driver is not implemented for - the legacy syscons(4) console. Ed added automatic - vt(4) selection to the UEFI boot path.

- -

Snapshots are now built as dual-mode images, and should boot - via both BIOS and UEFI. Our plan is to merge the UEFI and - vt(4) work to stable/10 to appear in &os; - 10.1-RELEASE.

- - - The &os; Foundation - - - Document manual installation, including dual-boot - configurations. - - Implement boot1.efi for ZFS file systems. - - Add support for UEFI variables stored in non-volatile - memory (NVRAM). - - Debug boot failures with certain UEFI firmware - implementations. - - Support secure boot. - - - &os; Core Team
