(In reply to Li-Wen Hsu from comment #2)
Yes, our disk images support both boot modes, but the EC2 API only allows us to
specify one or the other when we register AMIs.  I have made Amazon very aware
that this has an impact on the user experience, but when I polled FreeBSD/EC2
users prior to making the change, there was almost unanimous consensus that if
we could only support one, UEFI (which much faster booting) was preferable to
BIOS.
