    14.0 relnotes: fixups to previous revision
    
    Two fixes to last revision of this file: fix and clarify section on
    upgrading loader.efi, rearranging so as to reference the example
    efibootmgr output in determining the ESP partition, and remove the
    "noauto" possibility.  One of my mutiply-upgraded systems has the
    noauto line in fstab, but I could have added it myself.  Also, add
    more specific information about iwlwifi chipset support from bz.

 Note for systems that boot from a ZFS root filesystem via EFI, using either binary or source upgrades:
 There are one or more copies of the boot loader on the MS-DOS EFI System Partition (ESP), used by the firmware to boot the kernel, and which 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.
-The ESP is not always mounted, but a `noauto` entry is placed in the man:fstab[5] file; this allows the command `mount /boot/efi` to mount the 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.
