Great. This warning is new so people keep things uptodate. There has been
minor breakage due to really old loader.efi not updating, but i backed that
silent (mostly) breakage and added the loud version thing you see now. It
shouldn't be that regular an occurrence... i wanted some warning to het
people to do something.
Can I suggest it might be worthwhile mentioning in src/UPDATING ?
I don't think these fixes are covered there.
It was counterintuative to me at the start as this was a 13-stable guest
showing the error, it being hosted on a 15-current bhyve, in that what was
required was for the -current system to be upgraded.
Maybe also for the other fix, in the different (arm64) context
on baremetal, which was to copy /boot/loader.efi to
/boot/efi/efi/BOOT/bootaa64.efi (I know of no way to determine
whether or not the rpi4b comes under "deficient systems
that don't honor efibootmgr(8) protocols" (as per /usr/src/UPDATING))
