+efi-sync is a program which will update your efi when your kernel or its
+related files are updated.
+
+To have efi-sync to start and stop with your host, add to the beginning of
+/etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.efi-sync ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.efi-sync start
+ fi
+
+and to /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown (creating it if needed):
+
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.efi-sync ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.efi-sync stop
+ fi
+
+Also ensure your EFI is mounted on boot by having its entry configured in
+/etc/fstab. If you use an initial ram disk (initrd), ensure
+OUTPUT_IMAGE="/boot/initrd.gz" is configured to your EFI's initrd path.
