From https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=uefi&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+14.0-CURRENT#DESCRIPTION:

  1. loader.efi loads and boots the kernel, as described in loader(8).

Should that be loader.efi(8) instead of loader(8)?

LGTM for the .Xr part.

For the other part, I think yes, it should be loader.efi(8) instead of loader(8)

share/man/man8/uefi.8

The patch was provided by tom@ in February; https://bugs.freebsd.org/265834#c3.

https://bugs.freebsd.org/265834#c6I'll make a separate commit. … (for Tom to be shown as the author).

grahamperrin marked an inline comment as done.

uefi(8): refer to loader.efi(8) instead of loader(8)

Also, update the date.
