yes. This looks like the HP-UX boot disk.
Switch from the EFI shell to fs2:
Shell> fs2:
fs2:\>
From here you are able to switch to any other boot disk that has an EFI file system, e.g to switch
to fs1 type fs1:. In order to go back to the EFI boot manager menu type exit.
To continue, invoke the HP-UX boot loader. It’s an EFI executable (hpux.efi). EFI executables
(.efi) and EFI shell scripts (.nsh) can be invoked without specifying the appendix. This is DOS
like ;-)
