Systems with 2.6 kernels are probably running `efibootmgr`, because of the deprecation of `eliloalt` that operates on `/proc/efi/vars`, only available on 2.4.

2.6 kernels present an interface similar to `/proc/efi/vars`, but within sysfs at `/sys/firmware/efi/vars`.

The proposal for implementing boot once for 2.6 kernels is to follow the documentation on that interface:
