Installing the Operating System from the External USB DVD Device
To install the OS from an external USB DVD device:
1.
Insert the CD with the OS into the external USB DVD drive.
2.
Use the EFI Boot Manager menu and boot to the drive that contains the CD with the OS.
3.
From the boot menu, select
EFI Shell (Built In)
.
4.
At the EFI Shell prompt, specify the device name (for example,
fs1:)
for the DVD and enter
the EFI install command, as in the following example.
If the device is not automatically selected, select the device name for the DVD and run the
install. For example, from the EFI Shell prompt you see something similar to this:
Shell> fs1:
fs1:\> install
If you do not see the USB DVD drive, use the EFI
Map
command to list all the device names
from the EFI Shell prompt. The list of devices displays automatically, and the install process
selects the device for you. The
Map
command displays the following (this may not match
