-Network booting an ia64 system requires two architecture-specific actions.
-On the boot server, DHCP and TFTP must be configured to deliver
-<command>elilo</command>.
-On the client a new boot option must be defined in the EFI boot manager
-to enable loading over a network.

-A suitable TFTP entry for network booting an ia64 system looks something
-like this:
-
-<informalexample><screen>
-
-host mcmuffin {
- hardware ethernet 00:30:6e:1e:0e:83;
- fixed-address 10.0.0.21;
- filename "elilo.efi";
-}
-
-</screen></informalexample>
-
-Note that the goal is to get <command>elilo.efi</command> running on
-the client.

-
-Create an <filename>ia64/</filename> subdirectory in your tftpboot
-directory, and populate it with the <filename>vmlinuz</filename> and
-<filename>initrd.gz</filename> files from the Debian installer netboot
-directory.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Copy <filename>elilo.efi</filename> to your tftpboot directory and
-make it world readable. This file can usually be found in the elilo
-package in IA64 distributions, or in
-<filename>/usr/lib/elilo</filename> or in a subdirectory of
-<filename>/boot/efi</filename>. A suitable copy is provided in the
-Debian installer netboot directory.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Create an <filename>elilo.conf</filename> file in your tftpboot
-directory. This will
-be loaded by <command>elilo.efi</command> once it is running on the
-client, and controls what
-happens next, including the choice of kernel, initrd image, etc. An
-example file is provided in the Debian installer netboot directory, review
-the contents and update as needed for your choice of paths, etc.
-
-It is possible to have different config files for different clients by naming
-them using the client's IP address in hex with the suffix
-<filename>.conf</filename> instead of <filename>elilo.conf</filename>.
-See documentation provided in the <classname>elilo</classname> package
-for details.
