I’m not convinced that booting in UEFI mode actually works in 8.0_RC1. The uefi-install image is constructed with both UEFI and BIOS boot loaders so it can boot in either mode. The system I’m testing on gives me the capability to disable UEFI or Legacy/BIOS boot capability. When I disable

Thanks for the suggestions. I could try to see what happens with /usr/mdec/bootx64.efi and FreeBSD's /loader.efi, possibly copied to $EFI_PARTITION/EFI/boot Also, I have an EFI and non-EFI version of grub2 compiled for FreeBSD, also want to take a look at FreeBSD's efibootmgr (in base

Just to say that all this worked for me. I had some 100gb left free on a GPT disk with a few other systems installed and finally decided to try EFI boot, using the efi boot image from releng. I only had to create /dev entries for dk16, dk17 and dk18, 16 were not enough. I also had to disable

How to boot in UEFI mode: practically no documentation

2018-05-29 Thread Thomas Mueller
Where do I find documentation on how to boot NetBSD amd64 or possibly i386 in UEFI mode? I couldn't find any man page and couldn't find anything useful in the online NetBSD wiki. I don't want to be limited to NetBSD, would also want to be able to boot FreeBSD and Linux in UEFI mode. I
