[OpenIndiana-discuss] What is the status of UEFI boot support?

[Andrey Sokolov]

When I boot in UEFI mode from usb flash drive with this image
(http://dlc.openindiana.org/isos/hipster/20180427/OI-hipster-gui-20180427.usb),
the system hangs after writing "Booting..."

How can I determine the cause of the hang?
