The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, or 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.

+ +

Over the last three months Ed and others refined the existing + UEFI support and merged it to the stable/10 branch for the + upcoming &os; 10.1 release.

+ +

To avoid the risk of a regression, the standard &os; 10.1 + install images continue to use the existing partitioning + scheme and support only legacy BIOS boot. Separate + UEFI-enabled installer images will be included with 10.1.

+ + + 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.
