1. Insert the Linux Recovery Utility CD in a drive and boot the machine. The EFI boot manager loads.
2. At the Please select a boot option prompt, use your arrow keys to highlight Boot Option
Maintenance Menu
and press the Enter key.
You must perform this step quickly, within several seconds, to avoid booting a default option. For
example, if your machine already has an operating system installed, the EFI boot manager will boot it
as the default. If the machine boots an operating system before you make a selection, reboot the system
to redisplay the list of boot options. Or if the boot manager’s default is to run an EFI application such
as offline diagnostics, exit and return to the EFI shell.
3. At the Select an Operation prompt, highlight the Boot from a File option. Press Enter to
select it.
4. At the Select a Volume prompt, use your arrow keys to highlight Removable Media Boot and
press Enter to bring up the Linux Recovery Utility main menu.
Note: If Removable Media Boot is not listed as an option in the Select a Volume menu, follow
the directions in
“Alternate Boot Method” (page 10) .
Once the Linux Recovery Utility CD is booted, and the main menu is displayed on your screen, proceed to
the instructions in
“Using the Linux Recovery Utility” (page 10) .
Alternate Boot Method
If the preceding boot instructions did not list Removable Media Boot as an option in the EFI boot manager,
follow the directions in this section to use the EFI Shell to boot the Linux Recovery Utility CD.
1. Insert the Linux Recovery Utility CD in the drive and power on your system.
2. Use your arrow keys to select EFI Shell [Built-in] from the list of boot options and press Enter.
You must perform this step quickly, within several seconds, to avoid booting a default option. For
example, if your machine already has an operating system installed, the EFI boot manager will boot it
as the default. If the machine boots an operating system before you make a selection, reboot the system
to redisplay the list of boot options. Or if the boot manager’s default is to run an EFI application such
as offline diagnostics, you can exit the application and return to the EFI shell.
3. A list of mapping table choices is displayed which may not fit on one screen if many disks are attached
to the system. If necessary, type map -b at the EFI shell prompt to see the list, screen by screen. Then
proceed as follows:
a.
Locate the list entry with the fs prefix that contains the text, “CDROM”.
b. At the shell prompt, input this list entry followed by a colon (:) and press Enter. For example, if
fs0
contains the text “CDROM”, you would do the following:
1. Type fs0:
2. Press Enter.
4. To execute the elilo bootloader and bring up the Linux Recovery Utility Main Menu:
