74 Utilities
Automatically adds EFI applications as boot options or
enables you to boot from a specific file. When you select
this option, the system searches for an EFI directory. If the
EFI directory is found, then it looks in each of the
subdirectories below EFI. In each of those subdirectories,
it looks for the first file that is an executable EFI application.
Each of the EFI applications that meet this criterion can be
automatically added as a boot option. In addition, legacy
boot options for A: and C: are also added if those devices
are present.
You can also launch a specific application without adding
it as a boot option. In this case, the EFI Boot Manager
searches the root directories and the \EFI\TOOLS
directories of all of the EFI system partitions present in the
system for the specified EFI application.
Adds a boot option to the EFI Boot Manager. Specify the
boot option by providing the name of the EFI application.
Along with the name, you can also provide either ASCII
or UNICODE arguments the file uses. Given the EFI
application name and any options, the EFI Boot Manager
searches for the executable file in the same directories as
described in the Boot from a File option. When the file is
found, it is executed.
Deletes a specific boot option or all boot options.
Controls the relative order in which the EFI Boot Manager
attempts to issue boot options. For help on the control key
sequences you need for this option, see the help menu.
Selects a boot option to use only once (the next boot
operation).
Defines the value in seconds before the system
automatically boots without user intervention. Set this
value to zero to disable the timeout feature.
Returns control to the EFI Boot Manager menu. This
displays the active boot devices, including a possible
integrated shell (if the implementation is so constructed).
