Hi, I'm working on the debian-installer, and noticed that on ia64, you can read EFI vars via /proc/efi/vars, specifically Lang* and LangCodes*. Is there any documentation on these, and other EFI vars? Failing docs, can someone with an ia64 please tell me example contents of those vars? I'm working on a module that autodetects some defaults for debian-installer, such as the default lang. The same can be done from the SRM console on alpha platforms. Also, is there a way I can test such code? It would require root privs on an ia64. It would help if you cc:'d me directly, as I'm not on debian-ia64 (I don't have such a machine); I'll be following the web interface for a while for followups.
