Looking at the FreeBSD 14 BETA3 release announcement, there is an entry for using a custom`QEMU_EFI.fd` file for booting into aarch64 under Qemu that seems to be OBE since there is now a `edk2-aarch64-code.fd` included in the Qemu port files. In addition, the wiki has removed the download links for `QEMU_EFI.fd`. >>Note regarding arm64/aarch64 virtual machine images: a modified QEMU EFI >>loader file is needed for qemu-system-aarch64 to be able to boot the >>virtual machine images. See this page for more information: >> https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm64/QEMU A) Is `edk2-aarch64-code.fd` included with Qemu the canonical and correct firmware for UEFI aarch64 , or is there a better one ?[1] B) I think a bit of clarity on both the Wiki and the release announcement would be useful. I am willing to assist with the wiki update if I can get an 'ack' from some folks here on the best firmware. Thanks in advance. -_Dave [1] https://snapshots.linaro.org/components/kernel/leg-virt-tianocore-edk2-upstream/4989/QEMU-AARCH64/RELEASE_GCC5/QEMU_EFI.fd
