<p>A number of UEFI bug fixes were committed over the last
quarter, further improving compatibility with different UEFI
implementations. Specifically, on some implementations, &os;
failed to boot with an &quot;ExitBootServices() returned
0x8000000000000002&quot; error. This has been fixed with a retry
loop (as required by UEFI), in r292515 and r292338.</p>
<p>UEFI improvements from other developers have recently been
commited or are in progress. These include support for environment
variables set on the EFI loader command line, improved text console
mode setting, support for nvram variables, and root-on-ZFS
support.</p>
