<https://reviews.freebsd.org/D31121>; Amongst the related bug reports, <https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=209821#c48>: * suspects some kind of "special behaviour" with ASUS UEFI * also observes a regression in FreeBSD. Given other related bugs, which include <https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=255073>; (mostly HP, one Samsung): * please, can anyone offer a summary overview of the underlying situations? Something not-too-technical will be ideal. In particular, I'd like to counter an (off-list) implication that bugs such as these are simply the result of computer manufacturers' products not following "the standards". (Re: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface>; and so on, I do understand that complexities exist, however "the standards" is, for me, too sweeping a phrase; it's non-specific.) TIA, thanks also to everyone who is helping towards the fixes.
