Where in the source tree would I find the stuff on booting EFI?

I have NetBSD installations for both amd64 and i386, am also curious about /usr/mdec/bootx64.efi and bootia32.efi .

I see FreeBSD 12-STABLE and HEAD (13-current) include efibootmgr.

When I tried to boot NetBSD-current by UEFI, I had trouble specifying the root partition in a way that the boot loader would understand, finally got that far, but NetBSD (current amd64) hung after the first line of screen output.
