Re: Why doesn't the EFI boot loader want to display the graphical orb logo in its boot menu on an Asus Prime 7590-P motherboard?

I run the latest uefi bios firmware available for my motherboard. So, in
your opinion, there is something wrong with it? Is this problem somehow
related to this problem:
https://www.mail-archive.com/stable@freebsd.org/msg00235.html ? As I
mentioned earlier, my motherboard is Asus Prime 7590-P Wifi. The PC is
connected to my monitor and there is absolutely nothing connected to the
PC's serial port. If there is a bug in my motherboard's UEFI
implementation, is it possible to add code to the stand implementation of
FreeBSD that will find a way around this bug?.. Please think of
something... I definitely want to see the graphical orb logo in the FreeBSD
boot menu!
