I'm sorry for the late reply, I'm currently swamped with work (not FreeBSD-related). It's true I'm working on the graphics support for the boot loader. Development is done in the P4 repository first. As soon as I have something for public test, I will post an RFT to the -current list. I plan to provide a .tar.gz that can simply be dropped in /boot, so everyone can participate in the test easily. It should work with both 8-current and 7-stable. I'm only asking for a little bit of patience, because my free time for working on this is currently very limited.
