    14.0 relnotes: recommend updating EFI boot loader when booting UFS
    
    UFS root file systems do not have the same issues as ZFS for the
    boot loader, but the boot loader should still be updated.  Generalize
    the section on updating the ESP.  ZFS must be done before zpool update,
    UFS should be done.

 Source-based upgrades (those based on recompiling the FreeBSD base system from source code) from previous versions are supported, according to the instructions in [.filename]#/usr/src/UPDATING#.

+If the root file system is ZFS, the boot loader must be able to support reading from the ZFS boot file system.
 After a system upgrade, but before doing a `zpool upgrade`, the boot loader on the ESP must be updated, or the system may become unbootable.
+While not mandatory, this update procedure should also be followed when using a UFS root file system.
 The location of the boot loader in use can be determined using the command `efibootmgr -v`.
 The value displayed for `BootCurrent` should be the number of the current boot configuration used to boot the system.
 The corresponding entry of the output should begin with a `+` sign, such as
