Adding Microsoft Windows to the Boot Options List
To add a Microsoft Windows entry to the system boot options list you must do so from EFI by using the
\MSUtil\nvrboot.efi
utility to import boot options from the
EFI\Microsoft\WINNT50\Boot00...
file on
the device from which Windows is loaded.
This procedure adds the Microsoft Windows item to the boot options list.
NOTE
On HP Integrity servers, the operating system installer automatically adds an entry to the boot
options list.
Step 1.
Access the EFI Shell environment.
Log in to the MP and enter
CO
to access the system console.
When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI
menu). If you are at another EFI menu, choose the
Exit
option from the submenus until you return
to the screen with the
EFI Boot Manager
heading.
From the EFI Boot Manager menu, choose the
EFI Shell
menu option to access the EFI Shell
environment.
Step 2.
Access the EFI System Partition (
fs
X
:
where
X
is the file system number) for the device from
which you want to boot Windows.
For example, enter
fs2:
to access the EFI System Partition for the bootable file system number
2
.
The EFI Shell prompt changes to reflect the file system currently accessed.
The full path for the Microsoft Windows loader is
\efi\microsoft\winnt50\ia64ldr.efi
and it
should be on the device you are accessing. However, you must only initiate this loader from the EFI
Boot Menu and not from the EFI Shell.
Step 3.
List the contents of the
\EFI\Microsoft\WINNT50
directory to identify the name of the Windows
boot option file (
Boot00
nn
) that you want to import into the system boot options list.
