Summary: loader.efi is confusing about boot1.efi usage
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest

Hello!
https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?loader.efi
contains
boot1.efi(8) is used to load loader.efi when it is placed within a UFS
or ZFS file system. Alternatively, loader.efi is used directly when
configured with efibootmgr(8), or when placed directly as the default
boot program as described in uefi(8). When a system is built using
bsdinstall(8), loader.efi will be used directly.
while https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=boot1.efi
contains
boot1.efi has been deprecated and will be removed from a future re-
lease. loader.efi(8) handles all its former use cases with more flexi-
bility.
There should be the information in which versions boot1 will be used and when
loader.efi supports all situations.
