Re: efiboot: change default partition from hd0a

Thanks for the suggestion! I dug through the code and changed the
default partition myself.
In case anyone is looking for it, it is in devboot() function:
/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/stand/efiboot/dev_i386.c

> I looked at the .so file that builds the .EFI and I didn't see anything about msdos file system. I only saw things like: cd9660 nfs ufs ufs2 tftp. It may be possible if you compiled in msdos support to read in your config from your EFI partition. I would like that feature.

Interesting observation. I will try to look further into this
possibility as well.
