                   Itanium(R)-Based Processor Family Only



 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      efi_fsinit - write an EFI file system header on a device file

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      efi_fsinit [-d devicefile]

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      efi_fsinit writes an EFI file system header on a device file.

      The EFI file system is based on the FAT file system and used by the
      Itanium(R)-based system BIOS to locate an HP-UX bootloader.  See
      efi(4).

      Before any other EFI commands can be run, efi_fsinit must be run to
      initialize the file system on a device file.

    Options    [Toc]    [Back]
      efi_fsinit recognizes the following option:

      -d devicefile  Write the file system header on device devicefile.
                     Without the -d option, efi_fsinit uses the device file
                     specified in the environment variable EFI_PARTITION if
                     it is defined.  The -d option overrides the
                     EFI_PARTITION environment variable.

 RETURN VALUE    [Toc]    [Back]
      efi_fsinit returns exit code 0 if the EFI file system is initialized
      successfully.  Otherwise it prints a diagnostic message and returns
      nonzero.

           0     Successful completion.
          >0     Error condition occurred.

 EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]
      Write an EFI file system header on device file /dev/rdsk/c1t4d0s1:

           efi_fsinit -d /dev/rdsk/c1t4d0s1
