I'm unable to boot the memstick EFI images on a HP EliteBook 850 G1 (SKU 
F2Q24UT#ABA). The BIOS is up to date and set to the default "UEFI Native 
(Without CSM)" setting.

I tried the most recent 10.1-STABLE and 11.0-CURRENT snapshots with the 
following results (hand transcribed from the screen):

FreeBSD-10.1-STABLE-amd64-20150309-r279796-uefi-memstick.img.xz:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>> FreeBSD EFI boot block

masks		0x0ff0000, 0x000000ff, 0xff000000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In both cases the system simply hangs.  How can I help debug this?
