Add HP-UX to the Boot Options List

This section describes how to add an HP-UX entry to the system boot options list.

You can add the \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI loader to the boot options list from the EFI Shell or EFI Boot

Configuration menu (or in some versions of EFI, the Boot Options Maintenance Menu).

NOTE On HP Integrity servers, the operating system installer automatically adds an entry to the boot

options list.

This procedure adds an HP-UX item to the boot options list from the EFI Shell.

To add an HP-UX boot option when logged in to HP-UX, use the setboot command. For details refer to the

setboot (1M) manpage.

Step 1. Access the EFI Shell environment.
