-      <p>The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) provides
-	boot- and run-time services for x86 and other computers.  For
-	the x86 architecture it replaces the legacy BIOS.  This
-	project will adapt the &os; loader and kernel boot process for
-	compatibility with UEFI firmware, found on contemporary
-	servers, desktops, and laptops.</p>
-
-      <p>Ed and Nathan completed a number of integration tasks over
-	the past three months.  Nathan added a first-stage loader,
-	boot1.efi, to support chain-loading the rest of the system
-	from a UFS filesystem.  This allows the UEFI boot process to
-	proceed in a similar fashion as with BIOS boot.  Nathan also
-	added UEFI support to the &os; installer and release image
-	creation script.</p>
-
-      <p>The EFI framebuffer requires the <tt>vt(4)</tt> system
-	console — a framebuffer driver is not implemented for
-	the legacy <tt>syscons(4)</tt> console.  Ed added automatic
-	<tt>vt(4)</tt> selection to the UEFI boot path.</p>
-
-      <p>Snapshots are now built as dual-mode images, and should boot
-	via both BIOS and UEFI.  Our plan is to merge the UEFI and
-	<tt>vt(4)</tt> work to stable/10 to appear in &os;
-	10.1-RELEASE.</p>
