Help needed to update bootloader

[Patrick M. Hausen]

It is using 15.1 release. But you need to manually update your boot loader in FreeBSD after the OS upgrade. There is no automation for that at all.

One thing I wanted to test is if it still works in hybrid UEFI/Legacy boot mode. The standard FreeBSD installers do not work well with cross-booting. Easy to test in a VM.

As you may have seen, it works perfectly in hybrid configurations.

Some things to know:
- It won't put (or propose) a loader where previously there wasn't one (with an exception for freebsd-boot partition, if you use the -f option). Its goal is only to update.
- It doesn't work on MBR scheme and is likely to never change on this point. This software is only for GPT scheme.
- It supports only amd64 and arm64 arches. Knowing that the support for arm64 is recent and is less tested than amd64.

If you or anyone have any question, I will be pleased to answer.
