Using the ELILO Loader Files (IA-64)

On a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server boot device EFI System Partition, the full paths to the loader and configuration files are:

/boot/efi/SuSE/elilo.efi

/boot/efi/SuSE/elilo.conf

When configuring partitioning during the install on IA64 systems, set the file system type for the /boot partition to vfat, then choose Fstab Options and set the Arbitrary option value to umask=077 to ensure that the partition is accessible only to administrators.

	Warning
Whenever you manually alter the kernel or initrd on your system, make sure to run /sbin/elilo before shutting down the computer. If you leave out this step, your system might not be bootable.
