Re: EFI native support on amd64

It works great. Some observations:

- When the kernel starts booting, it prints lines painfully slow on
  my Asus laptop. When the kernel initialises genfb(4), printing
  suddenly speeds up. If I connect to Sony TV via HDMI, it somewhat
  slow but acceptable.
- I can't figure out how to change screen size in boot.cfg. Adding
  text=2 to boot.cfg doesn't work.
- Likewise, I don't know how to change screen size in genfb(4). I will
  google more on the topic.
- Does the bootloader suport msdos fs? Currently, I create an ffs
  partition solely for hosting boot.cfg file. It would be nice to
  read boot.cfg file from the boot EFI partition.
