<p>The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) provides
|
||||
boot- and run-time services for x86 and other computers. For
|
||||
the x86 architecture it replaces the legacy BIOS. This
|
||||
project will adapt the &os; loader and kernel boot process for
|
||||
compatibility with UEFI firmware, found on contemporary
|
||||
servers, desktops, and laptops.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Ed and Nathan completed a number of integration tasks over
|
||||
the past three months. Nathan added a first-stage loader,
|
||||
boot1.efi, to support chain-loading the rest of the system
|
||||
from a UFS filesystem. This allows the UEFI boot process to
|
||||
proceed in a similar fashion as with BIOS boot. Nathan also
|
||||
added UEFI support to the &os; installer and release image
|
||||
creation script.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The EFI framebuffer requires the vt(4) system console —
|
||||
a framebuffer driver is not implemented for the legacy
|
||||
syscons(4) console. Ed added automatic vt(4) selection to the
|
||||
UEFI boot path.</p>
|
||||

||||
<p><url href="http://www.freebsd.org/snapshots/">&os; snapshots</url>
|
||||
are now built as dual-mode images, and should boot via BIOS
|
||||
and UEFI. Our plan is to merge the UEFI and vt(4) work to
|
||||
stable/10 to appear in &os; 10.1-RELEASE.</p>
