The console escape code standard (ECMA-48) specifies color #3 (escape
code 33) as yellow. A brown console color is an artifact of the VGA
palette, which replaces dim (but not bright) yellow with brown.

For historical reasons console color number 3 may be either yellow (most
consoles) or brown (VGA palette). The console escape code standard
uses "yellow", but teken color name constants appear to be based on the
VGA scheme and use TC_BROWN for color 3. Even so, the palette table
used 50,50,0 as the RGB percentage tuple, resulting in a dim yellow for
framebuffer consoles at the time teken was introduced.
Amusingly, in 19e2ce2d83 the comment on the palette entry was changed
from "brown" to "dark yellow" but the colour itself was changed from
a pure yellow to being somewhat brown.

UEFI provides a protocol for accessing randomness. This is a good way
to gather early entropy, especially when there's no driver for the RNG
on the platform (as is the case on the Marvell Armada8k (MACCHIATObin)
for now).
If the entropy_efi_seed option is enabled in loader.conf (default: YES)
obtain 2048 bytes of entropy from UEFI and pass is to the kernel as a
"module" of name "efi_rng_seed" and type "boot_entropy_platform"; if
present, ingest it into the kernel RNG.

This man page was heavily copied from the gptboot.8 man page by Warren Block.
They are different enough to need separate man pages for clarity, but there's
enough similarity that I worry about the duplication. In the really long term,
gptboot(8) will disappear, so having the same info here will help when that
day comes. In the short to medium term, the information is likely to not
change in gptboot(8) and any changes to gptboot.efi(8) will be easier to

Add some basic multiboot2 infrastructure to the EFI loader in order to
be capable of booting a FreeBSD/Xen dom0 when booted from UEFI.
Only a very limited subset of the multiboot2 protocol is implemented
in order to support enough to boot into Xen, the implementation
doesn't intend to be a full multiboot2 capable implementation.
Such multiboot2 functionality is hooked up into the amd64 EFI loader,
which is the only architecture that supports Xen dom0 on FreeBSD.
The options to boot a FreeBSD/Xen dom0 system are exactly the same as
on BIOS, and requires setting the xen_kernel and xen_cmdline options
in loader.conf.
