System: NetBSD speedy.whooppee.com 10.99.12 NetBSD 10.99.12 (SPEEDY 2024-12-14 04:11:35 UTC) #0: Sat Dec 14 11:32:20 UTC 2024 paul%speedy.whooppee.com@localhost:/build/netbsd-local/obj/amd64/sys/arch/amd64/compile/SPEEDY amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
From IRC conversation related to port-i386/58952:
i386/amd64 bootxx code should use the MI (EFI) stuff and their additional
features should be merged there (in ``libsa''?). Every time a new feature
is added to the x86 bootloader it makes it harder to merge the two. Other
ports such as arm, aarch64, and riscv would greatly benefit from a merge.
