Yeah. The code before the change excluded mips and powerpc platforms, and it should continue to do so instead of using the existence of a /boot/efi directory as the only clue.

Currently bsdinstall bails out and leaves powerpc* in a half-installed state because the die in the uname case propagates to the main script, so it never runs the bits after the bootconfig.
