+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+HTTP Boot provides the capability for system deployment and configuration
+over the network. HTTP Boot can be activated by specifying::
+
+ CONFIG_CMD_DNS
+ CONFIG_CMD_WGET
+ CONFIG_BLKMAP
+
+Set up the load option specifying the target URI::
+
+ efidebug boot add -u 1 netinst http://foo/bar
+
+When this load option is selected as boot selection, resolve the
+host ip address by dhs, then download the file with wget.
+If the downloaded file extension is .iso or .img file, efibootmgr tries to
+mount the image and boot with the default file(e.g. EFI/BOOT/BOOTAA64.EFI).
+If the downloaded file extension is .efi and file is PE-COFF image,
+load the downloaded file and start it.
