hey Andres,

The BIOS_Boot_Type and Boot_Device fields are mutually exclusive. If a
system supports both EFI and Legacy mode, BIOS_Boot_Type allows you to
choose between them. Boot_Device only works when booting in Legacy
mode - See section 28.13 of the IPMI Spec. It has no effect in EFI
mode for any implementation I've seen.
