Hey all,

I just got in a new Dell Precision 7550 laptop. Tried booting FreeBSD
on it and UEFI boot failed. The screen goes black immedately when
selecting the memstick and around ten to twenty seconds later, the
system reboots.

I'm thinking there might be a bug in the UEFI loader. I have zero
experience in this area, but would love to learn. Can someone punish
me with ideas on how to debug this? ;P

I'll try to get whatever patches/fixes that come out of this effort
upstreamed.

Thanks,
