+<body>
+
+<p>
+On the IA64 platform, the boot loader is called elilo. You may need to emerge
+it on your machine first.
+</p>
+
+<pre caption="Installing elilo">
+# <i>emerge elilo</i>
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+You can find the configuration file at <path>/etc/elilo.conf</path> and a
+sample file in the typical docs dir
+<path>/usr/share/doc/elilo-<ver>/</path>. Here is another sample
+configuration:
+</p>
+
+<pre caption="/etc/elilo.conf example">
+boot=/dev/sda1
+delay=30
+timeout=50
+default=Gentoo
+append="console=ttyS0,9600"
+prompt
+
+image=/vmlinuz
+ label=Gentoo
+ root=/dev/sda2
+ read-only
+
+image=/vmlinuz.old
+ label=Gentoo.old
+ root=/dev/sda2
+ read-only
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+The <c>boot</c> line tells elilo the location of the boot partition (in this
+case, <path>/dev/sda1</path>). The <c>delay</c> line sets the number of
+10<sup>th</sup> of seconds before automatically booting the default when in
+non-interactive mode. The <c>timeout</c> line is just like the delay line but
+for interactive mode. The <c>default</c> line sets the default kernel entry
+(which is defined below). The <c>append</c> line adds extra options to the
+kernel command line. The <c>prompt</c> sets the default elilo behavior to
+interactive.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The sections that start with <c>image</c> define different bootable images.
+Each image has a nice <c>label</c>, a <c>root</c> filesystem, and will only
+mount the root filesystem <c>read-only</c>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+When configuration is done, just run <c>elilo --efiboot</c>. The
+<c>--efiboot</c> option adds a menu entry for Gentoo Linux to the EFI Boot
+Manager.
