Bug 62977

Description of Problem:
The IA-64 Red Hat installer copies the EFI bootloader and the kernel onto the 
root EFI partition.  This violates the EFI specification as stated below.  Is 
there any plan to move the bootloader and related files to a subdirectory under 
the root EFI partition?

11.2.1.3 Directory Structure
"An EFI system partition that is present on a hard disk must contain an EFI 
defined directory in the root directory.  This directory is named EFI.  All OS 
loaders and applications will be stored in subdirectories below EFI.  
Applications that are loaded by other applications or drivers are not required 
to be stored in any specific location in the EFI system partition.  The choice 
of the subdirectory name is up to the vendor, but all vendors must pick names 
that do not collide with any other vendor's subdirectory name.  This applies to 
system manufacturers, operating system vendors, BIOS vendors, and third party 
tool vendors, or any other vendor that wishes to install files on an EFI system 
partition.  There must also only be one executable EFI image for each supported 
CPU architecture in each vendor subdirectory.  This guarantees that there is 
only one image that can be loaded from a vendor subdirectory by the EFI Boot 
Manager."

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
