<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 <tt>vt(4)</tt> system
|
||||||
|
console — a framebuffer driver is not implemented for
|
||||||
|
the legacy <tt>syscons(4)</tt> console. Ed added automatic
|
||||||
|
<tt>vt(4)</tt> selection to the UEFI boot path.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Snapshots are now built as dual-mode images, and should boot
|
||||||
|
via both BIOS and UEFI. Our plan is to merge the UEFI and
|
||||||
|
<tt>vt(4)</tt> work to stable/10 to appear in &os;
|
||||||
|
10.1-RELEASE.</p>

<p>Over the last three months Ed and others refined the existing

UEFI support, and merged it to the stable/10 branch for the
|
|
||||||
upcoming FreeBSD 10.1 release.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>To avoid the risk of a regression, the standard FreeBSD 10.1
|
|
||||||
install images continue to use the existing partitioning scheme
|
|
||||||
and support only legacy BIOS boot. Separate UEFI-enabled
|
|
||||||
installer images will be included with 10.1.</p>
