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 that are on your server or workstation and lets you 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 were configured on your 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
In this example:
NO VOLUME LABEL is a hard drive. When you format a hard drive, the EFI tools provide an
option to LABEL the disk. In this example, the volume was not labelled.
CD_FORMAT is the label created for the disk currently inside the DVD drive.
