I just upgraded my UEFI system firmware, and not unexpectedly lost the "FreeBSD" boot manager entry after the settings got reset to default. I was left with "Windows", "opensuse" and two "UEFI OS" entries. The "opensuse-secureboot" entry wasn't automatically recreated, but since the "opensuse" entry uses the shim (https://github.com/rhboot/shim) it will be created when I boot "opensuse". I'm wondering if anyone knows who we should talk to in order to get \EFI\FreeBSD\loader.efi recognized by firmware as something to be added as a boot option by default? I plan to import the shim into the tree sometime so that we too can automatically recreate boot manager entries if they're deleted. -- Rebecca Cran
