+1 I have a few new servers and I figured that to keep with the times I should be doing EFI instead of legacy boot, but if this is one of those features where you have to be subbed to a number of email lists to know what state the feature is in, then maybe legacy boot is the right direction. I don’t see any upgrade tips here: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=uefi&sektion=8&manpath=freebsd-release-ports This handbook seems to have no upgrade info: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/updating-upgrading.html https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/boot-introduction.html https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/book.html And I’m still not sure if the wiki is considered a canonical source for this info or if it’s more of a developer’s notebook.
