HP-UX Features
HP-UX IPF Bootloader
Chapter 338
HP-UX IPF Bootloader
HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20) IPF bootloader allows you to locate and
boot the desired HP-UX kernel. Because the HP-UX IPF bootloader can
boot from the VxFS file system, it is not necessary for /stand to be an
HFS file system.
When an Itanium-based system boots, you are placed in either the EFI
(Extensible Firmware Interface) boot manager or the EFI shell. The
HP-UX IPF bootloader is a native EFI application that can be launched
from either application. To boot any machine with HP-UX, the HP-UX
IPF bootloader must be placed in the EFI partition of the boot disk.
IPF Bootloader Compatibility
The HP-UX IPF bootloader is not compatible with the HP-UX PA
bootloader. It can not boot a PA kernel and can not be used in a PA
machine.

(1M) manual pages.
