Hi Kyle,

I have one system installed back in February which hasn't been upgraded
since then and which I plan to "svn up" to latest -CURRENT in couple of
weeks.  It's booted via EFI (gpart bootcode -p /boot/boot1.efifat ...),
main filesystem being ZFS.

So do I understand correctly that I *don't* have to update the bootcode
after "make world" prior to reboot, and things would work fine, just as
before, WRT the loader being Lua-based now?  Thanks,

./danfe
