Summary: EXTRAS for elilo,  device slashes

Initial Comment:
Hi there.  



The attached patch will address the following issues. 

Note that one part

of the patch may have been applied to CVS already by

Dan.



The following patch to EFI.pm addresses these issues.



 - Adding additional locations for finding elilo stuff

   [already applied to CVS by Dan]



 - Allowing one to use the 'EXTRAS' line for ELILO. 

This is good for

   Altix since SGI needs the "relocatable" flag added

to elilo.conf



 - Changing the efi friendly support to reverse how it

handles slashes.

   My version of ELILO (and I think all) want slashes

in paths for

   kernels and initrd's to be unix-style back slashes,

not forward slashes.

   So EFI.pm makes it so kernel images with slashes

never work instead of

   always work.  I didn't spot this before since RedHat

doesn't put slashes

   in kernel names.  SuSE does because it stores them

in the root of EFI and

   not the directory with elilo.efi.
