R9:f8d0c45d7f71: Fix instructions for writing the ZFS bootcode on EFI systems
Summary

Bug 293912 contains instructions on how to update the ZFS bootcode on EFI systems. I've extended it to
a) an addition cp command for a different path
b) add a few lines explaining that the resulting filename is architecture specific (i.e. aarch64.efi vs. BOOTX64.efi)

Test Plan
  1. Apply the patch
  2. check the output
  3. Comment or approve

Depending on the architecture, the file has a different name.

I like the addition of the example. Would it also be possible to add a reference where to find the respective filenames for other architectures? I think uefi(8) is a good reference?

Good suggestion! I've added a link to the uefi(8) man page.

bootx64.efi is amd64-specific, so I'm glad you've added the clarifying note!
