+    <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 are not covered here.  For details, see
