• 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.
• 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 removable media disc.
• The two Load Files are 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 .efi extension. You can also select
remote boot (LAN) options that have been configured on your network. The option you have selected will be
added to the EFI boot menu.
If you add a new drive to your system, you must manually add its boot options list if you want 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. If you:
• Choose to modify an existing option, you may change the boot option name and/or add boot option
arguments to the existing option.
• 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]]
Load File [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(3|0)/Mac(00306E4C4F1A)]
Exit
In this example:
• Most of the items are the same options in Boot From a File.
• NO VOLUME LABEL is a hard drive. You can search through the disk for bootable applications to add to
the Boot Manager list of Boot options.
• Removable Media Boot treats the Removable Media (generally a CD) as a bootable device.
• Load File EFI Shell adds a new instance to the EFI Shell. Load File with the MAC address adds a
network boot option.
Delete Boot Option(s)
Use this option to remove boot options from the EFI boot menu.
NOTE This does not delete any files, applications or drivers from your system.
This option displays a list of boot options that are configured on your system. The names match the options on
the main Boot Manager menu (above).
