.Dt BOOT1.EFI 8
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm boot1.efi
|
|
.Nd UEFI chain loader
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
has been deprecated and will be removed from a future release.
|
|
.Xr loader.efi 8 handles all its former use cases with more flexibility.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
On UEFI systems,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
loads
|
|
.Pa /boot/loader.efi
|
|
from the default root file system and transfers execution there.
|
|
.Ss Initialization
|
|
Before looking for the boot device,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
does the following initialization
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
Sets up the console using the default UEFI console routines.
|
|
.It
|
|
Discovers all possible block devices on the system.
|
|
.It
|
|
Initializes all file system modules to read files from those devices
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss Boot Device Selection
|
|
.Nm
|
|
uses the following sequence to determine the root file system for
|
|
booting:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
If ZFS is configured,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will search the for zpools that are bootable, preferring the zpool on
|
|
the boot device over the others.
|
|
.It
|
|
If UFS is configured,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will search all UFS partitions for a bootable partition.
|
|
It will prefer the lowest numbered bootable partition on the boot
|
|
device over all other choices.
|
|
It will fall back to partitions on other devices if none are found.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A partition is considered bootable if it can load
|
|
.Pa /boot/loader.efi
|
|
from it.
|
|
Command line arguments to the next boot stage are
|
|
read from the first existing file of
|
|
.Pa /boot.config
|
|
or
|
|
.Pa /boot/config
|
|
in that order.
|
|
.Ss Caveats
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
The order in which file systems are tried is undefined.
|
|
.It
|
|
No encryption support is available.
|
|
.It
|
|
There's no way to interrupt the boot process to select booting from some
|
|
other location.
|
|
.It
|
|
When configuring a serial console for FreeBSD, but not for UEFI, no output
|
|
will show up on the serial console from boot1.efi.
|
|
.It
|
|
There's no support for marking partitions as the preferred one.
|
|
.It
|
|
There's no support for boot-once functionality.
