Good find of Timothy Scott Coalson to detect the documentation error (which 
incorrectly states that UEFI boot is not supported).

I'll try to create a documentation update to add a remark that UEFI without 
secure boot is also working on OpenIndiana Hipster.

In any case, I installed from CD (physical CD) OpenIndiana on a UEFI system and 
it worked.

In any case special thanks to Toomas Soome and all of the OpenIndiana/Illumos 
developers for the UEFI support.

Regards,
David Stes
