    Hmm. I need to check out efifb. VESA hasn’t been bad, but the grass is always greener…

      You’d run either VESA or WSFB on top of efifb(4). Not either instead of efifb(4).

        efifb with wsfb, I mean. Is the console high res with efifb? Not that I spend much time on console, but the VGA stretching is pretty ugly…

          It’s alright. I haven’t counted the cols/rows, but judging by efifb.c:EFIFB_{WIDTH,HEIGHT} it’s 100x31 with a small-ish black edge around it.

      Hmm, does this 404 for anyone else?

        Yes. http://blog.jasper.la/openbsd-uefi-bootloader-howto/ works for me.

          Looks like @jasper’s site has a wrong canonical header, which the URL submission page switches to when it finds one:

             <link rel="canonical" href="http://jasper.la/openbsd-uefi-bootloader-howto/" />

            Thank you for pointing that out; it’s fixed now.

              Clicking the post’s URL http://blog… returns a 301 to https://ghost.jasper.la/openbsd-uefi-bootloader-howto/ which doesn’t resolve. If I visit https://blog… it works.
