Hello list, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I use bootctl from sys-boot/systemd-boot to creat a boot-time menu (photo |
| 4 |
attached) from which I choose what system I want to run. This has worked well, |
| 5 |
but I'm not confident I'll be able to mix systemd and openrc like this for much |
| 6 |
longer. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
The first two lines are for the tiny rescue system I keep in /dev/nvme0n1p4. As |
| 9 |
you see, I can run it either with or without the network. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
The next three lines are for the most recent currently installed kernel of the |
| 12 |
main Plasma system, with one of three run levels at my choice. The next three |
| 13 |
are the same for the most recent previous system, known to work. These are on |
| 14 |
/dev/nvme0n1p5. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
(Windows is no longer installed on this box; that entry is a leftover which |
| 17 |
I'd better remove.) The final entry does what it says: it goes back into the |
| 18 |
UEFI setup menu. |
| 19 |
|

My question is how to do this in Grub. Three kernels are involved, with either |
| 21 |
two or three run levels each. I tried to do this manually some years ago, but |
| 22 |
failed and had to resort to bootctl. Oh, and before I'm told to RTFM, of |
| 23 |
course I have done that but last time I looked I found nothing helpful. That's |
| 24 |
why I hope the collected wisdom here can help. |
