I've been trying to figure how to boot a FreeBSD system with UEFI as opposed to
BIOS-style.
I read the documentation, but want to boot a partition that might not be the
first BSD partition on the hard disk.
For instance, some UFS partitions might have a NetBSD installation, a different
FreeBSD installation, or no OS installation.
I read the man page (uefi) and looked at the files in /boot; have an EFI
partition set up with more than enough space.
I would also want to be able to boot other UEFI-capable OSes including Linux,
NetBSD (if that works), and Haiku when and if possible.
