 ****************************** SPECIAL WARNING: ******************************
 
-20180319:
-	For u-boot based arm64 UEFI systems: the UEFI loader(8), loader.efi,
-	should be updated in conjunction with installing a new kernel after
-	r330868. The kernel, after this revision, will be more lenient when
-	mapping addresses for UEFI Runtime Services and this may result in a
-	kernel panic without the corresponding loader(8) update. If you have a
-	recent kernel, you can do a installkernel / installworld and then reboot
-	as there's no recent syscall changes. If you have an older kernel and/or
-	a 11.x system, the following sequence is safe:
-		% make buildworld
-		% make buildkernel
-		% sudo make installkernel
-		% cd stand
-		% sudo make install
-		% sudo reboot
-		...
-		% sudo make installworld

 	FreeBSD boot loader enhanced with Lua scripting. It's purely opt-in for
 	now by building WITH_LOADER_LUA and WITHOUT_FORTH in /etc/src.conf.
