1) DO NOT use 6.03-pre7 on EFI64; PLEASE use 6.03-pre6.

2) BIOS binaries/executables are in bios/; EFI x86 (32-bit IA32) in
efi32/; EFI x86-64 (64-bit IA32; aka x64) in efi64/.  Don't mix fix
that are fed to a client during a given boot session.

Note that IA64 is associated with Intel Itanium and none of the
non-Itanium systems.
