elilo is the standard Linux boot loader for EFI-based PC hardware. It was originally developed for IA-64 systems made by Hewlett Packard, but also works on standard Intel IA-32 hardware with EFI support.
elilo is likely to be the standard bootloader on any version of Linux running on Intel-based Apple Macintosh hardware, and has already been used to boot a version of Gentoo Linux.
It supports network booting using TFTP/DHCP.
