|

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface provides boot- and run-time services
|
||||
services to operating systems.
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
is a replacement for the legacy BIOS on the i386 and amd64 CPU architectures,
|
||||
and is also used on 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 parition 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
|
||||
locates the first partition with the type
|
||||
.Li freebsd-ufs ,
|
||||
and from it loads
|
||||
.Pa loader.efi .
|
||||
.It
|
||||
.Pa loader.efi
|
||||
loads and boots the kernel, as described in
|
||||
.Xr loader 8 .
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Xr vt 4
|
||||
system console is automatically selected when booting via

.Sh CAVEATS
|
||||
EFI environment variables are not supported by
|
||||
.Xr loader 8
|
||||
or the kernel.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Pa boot1.efi
|
||||
loads
|
||||
.Pa loader.efi
|
||||
from the first FreeBSD-UFS file system it locates, even if it is on a
|
||||
different disk.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Pa boot1.efi
|
||||
cannot load
|
||||
.Pa loader.efi
|
||||
from a
|
||||
.Xr ZFS 8
|
||||
file system.
|
||||
As a result,
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
does not support a typical root file system on ZFS configuration.
