booting with grub2 works, I have a multiboot netbsd/fedora/windows10
laptop setup (I had to use UEFI because that was what the manufacturers
windows recovery disk insisted on).  I will try and find my notes on how
I put this together.

Yes, I'm trying to get my patches for GPT handling in and will verify
UEFI installation with that.

UEFI status? (was Re: GPT/UEFI booting)

2017-08-04 Thread Masanobu SAITOH 

 Hi, all.

 A few days ago, I successfully booted from UP board.

http://www.up-board.org/up/comparison-up-versus-edisongalileo-joule/

UP board's UEFI doesn't support legacy boot. Currently,
our sysinst doesn't support creating UEFI bootable disk,
so I tried creating disk with reading the first mail of
this thread. I couldn't make bootable disk, too. But,
I've noticed the info from doing "gpt show -a sd0"
on a disk which contains images/NetBSD-8.xx.y-1-amd64-uefi-install.img.
A bootable image has a attribute "bootme":


uefi# gpt show -a sd0
  start   size  index  contents
  0  1 PMBR
  1  1 Pri GPT header
  2 32 Pri GPT table
 34  65536  1  GPT part - EFI System
 Type: efi
 TypeID: c12a7328-f81f-11d2-ba4b-00a0c93ec93b

 Label: amd64-current
 Attributes: bootme < This!
  122552287 32 Sec GPT table
  122552319  1 Sec GPT header


so,


This is what I’ve done so far:
#
# Create the GPT segments
#
gpt create -f ld0
gpt add -s 65536 -t efi -l "EFI System" ld0
gpt add -s 525168 -t ffs -l "NetBSD-root" ld0


"gpt set -a bootme -i N(parpahs 2) xx0" is required.


gpt add -s 256000 -t swap -l "NetBSD-swap" ld0
gpt add -s 1024000 -t ffs -l "NetBSD-var" ld0
gpt add -s 16264934 -t ffs -l "NetBSD-usr" ld0
gpt add -t ffs -l "NetBSD-home”
#
# Initialize the wedges
#


 To inform this flag, I modified gpt.8 yesterday
(and thanks kre@ fixing typo!)

 After setup my environment, I've noticed that neither
acpidump and nor pkgsrc/dmidecode didn't work. The reason
is that those information are not near the beginning of
the physical address on UEFI environment. For acpidump,
the problem was fixed. Not yet for pkgsrc/dmidecode.

 I've not used grub2. If someone(TM) succeeded booting
with grub2, it would be good to summarize the howto.

 Making sysinst UEFI friendly is important. Could someone
do by 8.0-RELEASE?
