Hey all-

I had asked in IRC about PNG/Background image support in EFI builds. It
seems it's currently not supported due to a currently needed fixed-width
bitmap font definition. Is this correct?

I was also wondering if it was possible to detect if the machine was
booted via UEFI mode as opposed to BIOS, perhaps via an environment
variable?

Something like:

isset ${uefi} || set ${bootmode} BIOS

or perhaps

iseq ${bootmode} EFI && set kernelfile vmlinuz.efi

etc.
