Is there a succinct step-by-step to install/update = everything involved in the UEFI boot process? The Handbook appears to = have very little on UEFI booting=E2=80=A6 The UEFI man page has a good explanation of which files are involved in = booting: = https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=3Duefi&sektion=3D8&manpath=3Dfre= ebsd-release-ports I mounted the ESP and copied /boot/boot1.efi to = /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI. Surprisingly, the new boot1.efi is much = smaller than what I had before (according to the timestamp from = November), but using that, booting seems to be restored. # grep efi /etc/fstab /dev/ada0p2 /boot/efi msdos rw,noauto 0 = 0 # mount /boot/efi # ls -l /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI = /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/bak/BOOTX64.EFI=20 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 81920 Jan 11 18:43 = /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 410112 Nov 25 16:27 = /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/bak/BOOTX64.EFI* Thanks, Stefan --=20 Stefan Bethke <stb@lassitu.de> Fon +49 151 14070811
