I have installed OpenBSD on hd0l: in my case it is for multi-booting,
but I imagine there are other use cases where boot and/or root are
installed on partitions other than 'a'.

This is a UEFI system so I've installed the efi bootloader which I am
able to execute. The bootloader first complains that there is no
hd0a:/etc/boot.conf. This is expected, since my install is at hd0l.
Since there is no boot.conf being read, it doesn't know where to try
booting: I am only able to boot the OS by typing "boot hd0l:/bsd".

This is not the end of the world, but it feels like it should be possible
to have a boot.conf somewhere other than the 'a' partition. Is it? Is
it possible to have a conf file in the EFI partition alongside the
bootloader itself?

Thanks,
Johnathan
