The current boottool version (perl based) implementes boot once for ia64 on 2.4 kernels only, via `eliloalt`. `eliloalt` operates on `/proc/efi/vars`, only present on 2.4 kernels.

While Fedora / Red Hat systems use `efibootmgr` for managing elilo, they also ships with `eliloalt`.

The proposal for implementation is to rewrite the code on perl based version of boottool.
