Figure 4-2 EFI Firmware Boot Manager menu
In Figure 4-2 the first entry is EFI Shell, a command prompt for the EFI
environment. This is discussed in “The EFI shell” on page 95.
In addition to the EFI Shell, there are five other options. The first three represent
the CD-ROM, and the other two PXE boot options represent the Broadcom
Ethernet controllers. If you choose any of these five options, the system will try to
boot from the selected device.
If the boot fails (for example, when trying to boot from CD-ROM without bootable
media inserted), the following message appears:
Loading.: Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(5|1)/Ata(Primary,Master)
Load of Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(5|1)/Ata(Primary,Master) failed: Not Found
Paused - press any key to continue
If a bootable CD is in the drive then always choose the first option; the other two
will also fail with the message as described above.
When you select one of the network controllers (marked PXE boot), you initiate
the PXE remote boot process. If no PXE boot server is discovered on the
