Source-based upgrades (those based on recompiling the FreeBSD base system from source code) from previous versions are supported, according to the instructions in [.filename]#/usr/src/UPDATING#.
+Note for systems that boot from a ZFS root filesystem via EFI, using either binary or source upgrades:
+There are one or more copies of the boot loader on the MS-DOS EFI System Partition (ESP), used by the firmware to boot the kernel, and which must be able to support reading from the ZFS boot file system.
+After a system upgrade, but before doing a `zpool upgrade`, the boot loader on the ESP must be updated, or the system may become unbootable.
+The ESP is not always mounted, but a `noauto` entry is placed in the man:fstab[5] file; this allows the command `mount /boot/efi` to mount the file system.
+The location of the boot loader in use can be determined using the command `efibootmgr -v`.
+The value displayed for `BootCurrent` should be the number of the current boot configuration used to boot the system.
+The corresponding line of the output should begin with a `+` sign, such as
+
+`+Boot0000* FreeBSD HD(1,GPT,f859c46d-19ee-4e40-8975-3ad1ab00ac09,0x800,0x82000)/File(\EFI\freebsd\loader.efi)`
+`                      nda0p1:/EFI/freebsd/loader.efi (null)`
+
+The value in the `File` field, `\EFI\freebsd\loader.efi` in this case, is the MS-DOS name for the boot loader in use on the ESP.
+If the mount point is `/boot/efi`, that file will translate to `/boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi`.
+Another common value for File would be `\EFI\boot/bootXXX.efi`, where `XXX` is `x64` for amd64, `aa64` for aarch64, or `riscv64` for riscv64; this is the default bootstrap if none is configured.
+Both the configured and default boot loaders should be updated by copying from [.filename]#/boot/loader.efi#.
