At some poing over the last week, the bootx64.efi file has grown
past the 800KB threshold, resulting in being unable to copy it to
the EFI/BOOT directory.
# stat -f %z efiboot.znWo7m
819200
# stat -f %z stand-test.PIEugN/EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi
842752
The comment in the script that creates the ISOs suggests that 800KB
is the maximum allowed for the boot code, however I was able to
boot an ISO with a 1024KB boot partition. Additionally, I verified
against an ISO from OtherOS, where the boot EFI partition is 2.4MB.

With this last piece in place, make -C /usr/src/release release.iso is
finally able to run in a jail. This was not possible before because
msdosfs cannot be mounted inside a jail.

Currently, the installer uses pre-created 800KB FAT12 filesystems that
it dd's onto the ESP partition.
This changeset improves that by having the installer generate a FAT32
filesystem directly onto the ESP using newfs_msdos and then copying
loader.efi into /EFI/freebsd.
For live installs it then runs efibootmgr to add a FreeBSD boot entry
in the BIOS.

mistake in the future. Fixing this ensures that we pick up newly built
boot bits native to the target rather for/from the host.

Recent changes to makefs and mkimg have led to situations where the
disconnect between this script and the versions installed on the host cause
failures. Provide a way to work around this that doesn't require the
installation of new versions to the host system if that's not desired.
With this change mkisoimages.sh will honour the $ETDUMP, $MAKEFS and $MKIMG
environment variables but fall back to the previous behaviour of finding them
within $PATH.

This keeps the existing El Torito entries for BIOS and UEFI boot code and
adds a GPT in the ISO image's System Area containing boot code for BIOS that
will load /boot/loader from the ISO filesystem and execute it. We then use
etdump to find the EFI System Partition image in the El Torito catalog and
add an entry to the GPT that allows EFI to find it.

UEFI booting requires an EFI System Partition (ESP). On most storage devices
this will be in a specific partition type. To allow booting from CD/ISO
filesystems, UEFI will look for an ESP in the form of a FAT filesystem image
embedded in the image. Historically FreeBSD has added one of these to its
amd64 ISO images but marked it as simply another i386 boot image. Luckily for
us most UEFI implementations are rather forgiving and work this out for us.
This change adds the ability to mark a boot image as being a UEFI image. It
also modifies our ISO generation to use this marking for the UEFI image we
embed.

first CD with packages (in addition to the "minimal" CD) if CD_EXTRA_BITS
points to them. This probably need a bit more work to get fully useful,
but it at least covers the basics for now.
