4.28.2.1. Using a Startup Script
It is recommended that you configure the ELILO Boot Manager to boot Red Hat Enterprise Linux
automatically. However, if you require additional commands to be executed before starting the ELILO
boot loader, you can create a startup script named
startup.nsh
. The last command should be
elilo
to boot into Linux.
The
startup.nsh
script should be in the
/boot/efi
partition (
/boot/efi/startup.nsh
) and
contain the following text:
echo --off your set of commands elilo
If you want to pass options to the boot loader (refer to
Section 4.28.1, “Post-Installation Boot Loader
Options”
) add them after
elilo
.
You can either create this file after booting into Red Hat Enterprise Linux or use the editor built into
the EFI shell. To use the EFI shell, at the
Shell>
prompt, change devices to the system partition
(mounted as
/boot/efi
in Linux). For example, if
fs0
is the system boot partition, type
fs0:
at the EFI Shell prompt. Type
ls
to make sure you are in the correct partition. Then type
edit
startup.nsh
. Type the contents of the file and save it.
The next time the system boots, EFI detects the
startup.nsh
file and use it to boot the system. To
stop EFI from loading the file, type
Ctrl
+
c
. This aborts the process, and returns you to the EFI shell
prompt.
