https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D290794 Bug ID: 290794 Summary: loader.efi is confusing about boot1.efi usage Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Manual Pages Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: mm@dorfdsl.de CC: doc@FreeBSD.org Hello! https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?loader.efi contains boot1.efi(8) is used to load loader.efi when it is placed within a = UFS or ZFS file system. Alternatively, loader.efi is used directly w= hen configured with efibootmgr(8), or when placed directly as the defa= ult boot program as described in uefi(8). When a system is built us= ing bsdinstall(8), loader.efi will be used directly. while https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=3Dboot1.efi contains boot1.efi has been deprecated and will be removed from a future = re- lease. loader.efi(8) handles all its former use cases with more fle= xi- bility. There should be the information in which versions boot1 will be used and wh= en loader.efi supports all situations. --=20 kind regards Marco --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
