+      <p>The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) provides
+	boot- and run-time services for x86 and other computers.  For
+	the x86 architecture it replaces the legacy BIOS.  This
+	project will adapt the &os; loader and kernel boot process for
+	compatibility with UEFI firmware, found on contemporary
+	servers, desktops, and laptops.</p>
+
+      <p>Ed and Nathan completed a number of integration tasks over
+	the past three months.  Nathan added a first-stage loader,
+	boot1.efi, to support chain-loading the rest of the system
+	from a UFS filesystem.  This allows the UEFI boot process to
+	proceed in a similar fashion as with BIOS boot.  Nathan also
+	added UEFI support to the &os; installer and release image
+	creation script.</p>
+
+      <p>The EFI framebuffer requires the <tt>vt(4)</tt> system
+	console — a framebuffer driver is not implemented for
+	the legacy <tt>syscons(4)</tt> console.  Ed added automatic
+	<tt>vt(4)</tt> selection to the UEFI boot path.</p>
+
+      <p>Snapshots are now built as dual-mode images, and should boot
+	via both BIOS and UEFI.  Our plan is to merge the UEFI and
+	<tt>vt(4)</tt> work to stable/10 to appear in &os;
+	10.1-RELEASE.</p>
