UEFI booting

[Achim Patzner]

Hi!

With a bunch of extremely cheap machines like the Zotac pico getting to the market which only support 32 bit EFI shells (greetings from Microsoft – that way you can get a free Windows 8.1 for them) it would be nice to produce some 32 bit EFI boot loader for them. I could use a GRUB boot stage but that doesn’t look very FreeBSD to me). Bonus points if the 32 bit loader could launch an amd64 kernel. Is there anyone who created a memory stick image for that kind of environment or who would be willing to do so?

(And yes, those pico dwarves are better somehow faster than the low-end boxes of the other Zotac series, so they are quite a good product even if  regarding their limitations.
