EFI Boot Manager Options
EFI Shell
A simple, interactive environment that allows EFI device drivers to be loaded, EFI
applications to be launched, and operating systems to be booted. The EFI shell also
provides a set of basic commands used to manage files and the system environment
variables. For more information on the EFI Shell, refer to The Extensible Firmware Interface
(EFI) Shell on page 5-11.
Warning:
The EFI shell can only manage QWERTY keyboards. If you have an AZERTY
keyboard, please refer to the AZERTY/QWERTY keyboard lookup table on page xvii.
Boot Options
Files that you include as boot options. You add and delete boot options by using the Boot
Maintenance Menu. Each boot option specifies an EFI executable with possible options. For
information on the Boot Maintenance Menu options, refer to Table 26.
