Or if, as you say, we can determine that it's _our_ bootx64.efi! That's pretty simple, since we have strings such as "FreeBSD/amd64 EFI loader, Revision 1.1" in the binary. We'll also want to embed a better version string to determine that it's our bootx64.efi _and_ for a version of FreeBSD that we're wanting to update. -- Rebecca Cran
