.Sh "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.Nm
|
|
manipulates how UEFI Boot Managers boot the system.
|
|
Methods of booting can be created and destroyed.
|
|
Boot methods can be activated or deactivated.
|
|
The order of boot methods tried can be changed.
|
|
Temporary boot methods can override the usual booting methods.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The UEFI standard defines how hosts may control what is used to
|
|
bootstrap the system.
|
|
Each method is encapsulated within a persistent UEFI variable, stored
|
|
by the UEFI BIOS of the form
|
|
.Va BootXXXX .
|
|
These variables are numbered, describe where to load the bootstrap
|
|
program from, and whether or not the method is active.
|
|
The boot order of these methods is controlled by another variable
|
|
.Va BootOrder .
|
|
The currently booting method is communicated using
|
|
.Va BootCurrent .
|
|
A global timeout can also be set.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
requires that the kernel efirt module be loaded to get and set these
|
|
non-volatile variables.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 28m
|
|
.It Fl c Fl -create
|
|
Create a new Boot Variable
|
|
.It Fl l -loader Ar loader
|
|
The path to and name of the loader.
|
|
.It Fl k -kernel Ar kernel
|
|
The path to and name of the kernel.
|
|
.It Fl b -bootnum Ar bootnum
|
|
When creating or modifying an entry, use bootnum as the index.
|
|
When creating a new entry, fail if it already exists.
|
|
.It Fl L -label Ar label
|
|
An optional description for the entry.
|
|
.It Fl D -dry-run
|
|
Process but do not change any variables.
|
|
.It Fl B -delete
|
|
Delete the given bootnum boot entry.
|
|
.It Fl a -activate
|
|
Activate the given bootnum boot entry, or the new entry when used with -c.
|
|
.It Fl A -deactivate
|
|
Deactivate the given bootnum boot entry.
|
|
.It Fl n -bootnext
|
|
Set bootnum boot entry as the BootNext variable.
|
|
.It Fl N -delete-bootnext
|
|
Delete the BootNext optional variable.
|
|
.It Fl o -bootorder Ar bootorder
|
|
Set BootOrder variable to the given comma delimited set of bootnums.
|
|
The numbers are in hex to match BootXXXX, but may omit leading zeros.
|
|
.It Fl t -set-timeout Ar timeout
|
|
Set the bootmenu timeout value.
|
|
.It Fl T -del-timeout
|
|
Delete the BootTimeout variable.
|
|
.It Fl v -verbose
|
|
Display the device path of boot entries in the output.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sh Examples
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To display the current Boot related variables in the system:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl efibootmgr [-v]
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This will display the optional BootNext bootnum, BootCurrent,
|
|
or currently booted bootnum, followed by the optional Timeout value, any
|
|
BootOrder that may be set, followed finally by all currently defined Boot
|
|
variables, active or not. The verbose flag will augment this output with
|
|
the disk partition uuids, size/offset and device-path of the
|
|
variable.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
program can be used to create new EFI boot variables. To create a new
|
|
boot var pointing to an installation with its EFI partition mounted
|
|
under /mnt, the given loader and a label "FreeBSD-11":
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl efibootmgr -c -l /mnt/EFI/freebsd/loader.efi -L FreeBSD-11
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This will result in the next available bootnum being assigned to a
|
|
new UEFI boot variable, and given the label "FreeBSD-11" such as:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl Boot0009 FreeBSD-11
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note newly created boot entries are created inactive. The active state is denoted
|
|
by an '*' following the BootXXXX name in the output. They are also inserted
|
|
into the first position of current BootOrder variable if it exists. They
|
|
must first be set to active before being considered available to attempt booting from, else they
|
|
are ignored.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl efibootmgr -B -b 0009
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Will delete the given boot entry Boot0009
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To set a given newly created boot entry active use:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl efibootmgr -a -b 0009
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To set a given boot entry to be used as the BootNext variable, irrespective
|
|
of its active state, use:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl efibootmgr -n -b 0009
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To set the BootOrder for the next reboot use:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl efibootmgr -o 0009,0003,...
