But reading the release notes (https://www.jan0sch.de/post/freebsd-upgrade-uefi-bootloader/) did not give= me confidence I really understood the process. " The ESP may already be mounted on /boot/efi. Otherwise, the partition may be mounted manually, using the partition listed in the efibootmgr output (nda0= p1 in this case): mount_msdosfs /dev/nda0p1 /boot/efi. See loader.efi(8) for another example. The value in the File field in the efibootmgr -v output, \EFI\freebsd\loader.efi in this case, is the MS-DOS name for the boot loade= r in use on the ESP. If the mount point is /boot/efi, this file will translate to /boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi. (Case does not matter on MS-DOSFS file sytems; FreeBSD uses lower case.) Another common value for File would be \EFI\boot\bootXXX.efi, where XXX is x64 for amd64, aa64 for aarch64, or ris= cv64 for riscv64; this is the default bootstrap if none is configured. Both the configured and default boot loaders should be updated by copying from /boot/loader.efi to the correct path in /boot/efi. " Although this paragraph seems to contain all the important information, act= ual commands compared to actual efibootmgr output are a lot more concise and understandable than saying, "to the correct path," which terrifies me to get wrong. Luckily I found the below written in a language I can both understa= nd and validate the sense of: https://www.jan0sch.de/post/freebsd-upgrade-uefi-bootloader/ For argument's sake, why is there no automatic or semi-automatic process to help users upgrade the boot loader, even if it simply is a prompting of "I think you need to type "mount," and them "cp"? Yes, users need to upgrade, but freebsd-update doesn't warn them about that, and neither do the instructions here: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/14.0R/installation/. And yes, I failed to read the release notes the first time... --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
