Booting Red Hat Enterprise Linux from the EFI Shell

1.Access the EFI Shell.

From the system console, select EFI Shell from the EFI Boot Manager menu to access the shell.

2.Access the EFI System Partition for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux boot device.

Use the map EFI Shell command to list the file systems (fs0, fs1, and so on) that are known and mapped.

To select a file system to use, enter its mapped name followed by a colon (:). For example,

to operate with the boot device that is mapped as fs3, enter fs3: at the EFI Shell prompt.

3.Enter ELILO at the EFI Shell command prompt to launch the ELILO.EFI loader.

If needed, you can specify the loader’s full path by entering \EFI\redhat\elilo at the EFI Shell command prompt.

4.Allow the ELILO.EFI loader to proceed with booting the Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel.

By default, the ELILO.EFI loader boots the kernel image and options specified by the default item in the elilo.conf file.

To interact with the ELILO.EFI loader, interrupt the boot process, for example, type a space at the ELILO boot

prompt.To exit the loader, use the exit command.
