The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) provides boot- + and run-time services for x86 computers, and is a replacement + for 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.

+ +

Starting with &a.rpaulo;'s i386 EFI loader, &a.benno; + developed a working proof-of-concept amd64 loader in 2013 + under sponsorship from the &os; Foundation. After refinement, + that work has now been merged from the projects/uefi + Subversion branch into &os; head. The project includes + the infrastructure to build a UEFI-enabled loader, and the + kernel-side changes to parse metadata provided by the + loader.

+ +

A number of integration tasks remain, with a plan to have UEFI + installation and boot support merged to stable/10 in + time for &os; 10.1-RELEASE.

+ + + The &os; Foundation + + + Document manual installation, including dual-boot + configurations. + + Implement chain-loading from UFS/ZFS file systems. + Integrate UEFI configuration with the &os; installer. + Support secure boot. + +
