One can guess: for [some?] newer machines try uefi. But could we put a more exact purpose of uefi images in a README ? The nomenclature of alternate downloadables is not orthogonal, (less atractive to non FreeBSD people casually sampling) eg: - bootonly & mini have similar purpose but different names. - disc1 & dvd1 but no stick1 & bootonly1; we could drop '1'. (Historicly FreeBSD had disc2 on 4.11 & disc3 on 6.4 & 7.4 & 8.4 but not in 9.2 & 9.3 & 10.0) A small README on the ftp server in each image directory, could also be copied to http://www.freebsd.org/where.html A text suggestion: -bootonly.iso Minimal CDROM, Can fetch more later. -disc1.iso Full OS for CDROM. -dvd1.iso Full OS for DVD, CD data + also .... -memstick Full OS for USB memory stick. -mini-memstick Minimal USB, Can fetch more later. -uefi- ... Add a definition ... .xz Compressed. Only if you already have a modern FreeBSD with xz. If you have some other OS, copy a non .xz.
