bcfg boot mv #a #b

Move the item number specified by #a to the position
specified by #b in the boot list.

bcfg boot add # file.efi "Description" Add a new boot option to the position in the boot

options list specified by #. The new boot option
references file.efi and is listed with the title specified
by Description.

For example, bcfg boot add 1 \efi\vms\vms_loader.efi "HP OpenVMS"adds
an HP OpenVMS item as the first entry in the boot options list.

See the help bcfg command for details.

NOTE:

You can also accomplish this step by using the \efi\vms\vms_bcfg.efi and

\efi\vms\vms_show.efi

utilities, which are available on the EFI System Partition for

HP OpenVMS. Both vms_bcfg and vms_show are unique utilities for OpenVMS I64. The
vms_bcfg

utility differs from the bcfg EFI command in that vms_bcfg enables you to

specify boot devices using VMS-style device names.
