+    <note><para>Most newer systems now come with system firmware that is in
+    UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) mode by default. To boot LFS
+    on these systems using the instructions here, the UEFI Mode and Secure Boot
+    capabilities need to be turned off. There are ways to boot with these
+    capabilities still enabled, but they are not covered here. For details,
