Boot From A File; Add A Boot Option - HP AB464-9003F Service Manual

Boot From a File

Use this option to manually run a specific application or driver.
NOTE: This option boots the selected application or driver one time only. When you exit the
application, you return to this menu.
This option displays the file systems on your server or workstation and enables you to browse
these file systems for applications or drivers that are executable. Executable files end with the
.efi extension. You can also select remote boot (LAN) options that have been configured on
the network.
For example:
Boot From a File. Select a Volume
NO VOLUME LABEL [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Primary,Master)/CDROM
CD_FORMAT [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Secondary,Master)/CDROM
Removable Media Boot [Acpi(HWP0002,500)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Secondary,Master)
Load File [EFI Shell [Built-in]]
Load File [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(3|0)/Mac(00306E4C4F1A)]
Exit
Where:
NO VOLUME LABEL: A hard drive. When you format a hard drive, the EFI tools provide an
option to LABEL the disk. In this example, the volume is not labelled.
CD_FORMAT: The label created for the disk currently inside the DVD drive.
Removable Media Boot: Allows you to boot from a removable media drive (CD/DVD
drive). This option does not support booting from a specific file on a specific CD.
Load Files: The EFI Shell and the LAN.

Add a Boot Option

Use this option to add items to the EFI boot menu.
This option displays the file systems that are on your system and lets you browse these file
systems for applications or drivers that are executable. Executable files end with the
.efiextension. You can also select remote boot (LAN) options that have been configured on
the network. The option you select is added to the EFI boot menu.
If you add a new drive to your system, you must manually add its boot options list to make it a
bootable device.
When adding a boot option that already exists in the Boot Manager list of boot options, you can
choose whether to create a new option or modify the existing one.
To modify an existing option, change the boot option name or add boot option arguments
to the existing option.
NOTE: If you create a new boot option for an already existing option, multiple instances of the
same boot option exist.
For example:
Add a Boot Option. Select a Volume
NO VOLUME LABEL [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Primary,Master)/CDROM
Removable Media Boot [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Secondary,Master)
Load File [EFI Shell [Built-in]]
