|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface provides boot- and run-time services
|
|
to operating systems.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is a replacement for the legacy BIOS on the i386 and amd64 CPU architectures,
|
|
and is also used on arm, arm64 and ia64.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
boot process loads system bootstrap code located in an EFI System Partition
|
|
(ESP).
|
|
The ESP is a GPT or MBR partition with a specific identifier that contains an
|
|
.Xr msdosfs 5
|
|
FAT file system with a specified file hierarchy.

|
|
.It MBR Ta 0xEF
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
boot process proceeds as follows:
|
|
.Bl -enum -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
.Nm
|
|
firmware runs at power up and searches for an OS loader in the EFI system
|
|
partition.
|
|
The path to the loader may be set by an EFI environment variable.
|
|
If not set, the default is
|
|
.Pa /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI .
|
|
The default
|
|
.Nm
|
|
boot configuration for
|
|
.Fx
|
|
installs
|
|
.Pa boot1.efi
|
|
as
|
|
.Pa /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI .
|
|
.It
|
|
.Pa boot1.efi
|
|
reads boot configuration from
|
|
.Pa /boot.config
|
|
or
|
|
.Pa /boot/config .
|
|
Unlike other first-stage boot loaders,
|
|
.Pa boot1.efi
|
|
passes the configuration to the next stage boot loader and does not
|
|
itself act on the contents of the file.
|
|
.It
|
|
.Pa boot1.efi
|
|
searches partitions of type
|
|
.Li freebsd-ufs
|
|
and
|
|
.Li freebsd-zfs
|
|
for
|
|
.Pa loader.efi .
|
|
The search begins with partitions on the device from which
|
|
.Pa boot1.efi
|
|
was loaded, and continues with other available partitions.
|
|
If both
|
|
.Li freebsd-ufs
|
|
and
|
|
.Li freebsd-zfs
|
|
partitions exist on the same device the
|
|
.Li freebsd-zfs
|
|
partition is preferred.
|
|
.Pa boot1.efi
|
|
then loads and executes
|
|
.Pa loader.efi .
|
|
.It
|
|
.Pa loader.efi
|
|
loads and boots the kernel, as described in
|
|
.Xr loader 8 .
