6. When accessing the EFI System Partition for the boot device, issue the HPUX command to
initiate the HPUX.EFI loader on the device you are accessing.
The full path for the loader is \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI. When initiated, the loader references
the \EFI\HPUX\AUTO file and boots HP-UX using the default boot behavior specified in
the AUTO file.
You have 10 seconds to interrupt the automatic booting of the default boot behavior. Pressing
any key during this 10-second period stops the HP-UX boot process and enables you to
interact with the HPUX.EFI loader. To exit the loader (the HPUX> prompt) and return to the
EFI Shell, enter exit.
To boot the HP-UX operating system, do not enter anything during the 10-second period
given for stopping at the HPUX.EFI loader.
The following example displays the device mapping table.
