|
||||
|
||||
If CONFIG_BOOTMENU_DISABLE_UBOOT_CONSOLE is enabled, user can not enter
|
||||

|
||||

CONFIG_PREBOOT="setenv bootmenu_0 UEFI Maintenance Menu=eficonfig"

|
||||
|
||||
"eficonfig" command is responsible for configuring the UEFI variables,
|
||||
not directly handle the system boot.
|
||||
The new Boot Option added by "eficonfig" is appended at the last entry
|
||||
of UEFI BootOrder variable, user may want to change the boot order
|
||||
through "Change Boot Order".
|
||||
If the bootmenu is enabled, CONFIG_BOOTMENU_DISABLE_UBOOT_CONSOLE is enabled,
|
||||
and "eficonfig" is configured as preboot command, the newly added Boot Options
|
||||
are enumerated in the bootmenu when user exits from the eficonfig menu.
|
||||
User may select the entry in the bootmenu to boot the system, or follow
|
||||
the U-Boot configuration the system already has.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
