Thanks for the response Alexander.  Are there any imminent plans for UEFI support?

I created an OpenIndiana 2017.04 CD and tried to boot the Xserve but the EFI did not recognize the CD as a boot disk.  Has anyone else tried installing on an Xserve?  I thought the OpenIndiana installation media could boot on EFI enabled machines?  Any ideas are welcome.  I have yet to try using a UB flash to boot OpenIndiana but something tells me that this has to do with EFI as I was able to boot on a BIOS Dell i5 laptop with no hassle.
