That the script in question is a generic script that runs as part of bsdinstall 
on every platform and has to be universal.

The actual *problem* here is that usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/bootconfig has a 
default case that is
            *)          die "Unsupported arch $(uname -m) for UEFI install"

which then causes the main script to bail out, leaving the system in a 
half-installed state.

If that had just been an exit 0 this would have never been a problem, I suppose.

Before the original change that broke this, there was a check that the script 
was not running on powerpc or mips platforms before running the efi bits, but 
this got taken out.
