grub2 is a completely rewritten animal, so it is *different* |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
grub2-install /dev/sd?? |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
is the incantation to put grub2 onto the selected boot partition. Then |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
<editor> /etc/default/grub |
| 16 |
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
is the incantation for making the basic configuration. If you have |
| 19 |
multiple installations |
| 20 |
on disk, emerge "os-prober" to bring in the detection of "foreign" |
| 21 |
operating systems. |
| 22 |
This creates the grub.cfg file, which prominently features a "DO NOT |
| 23 |
EDIT" warning at the |
| 24 |
top of the file; rank beginners are advised to edit /etc/defaut/grub if |
| 25 |
that can make the changes |
| 26 |
you want, but more advanced users can edit the grub.cfg to achieve |
| 27 |
desired results. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
For example, my grub.cfg has the default entry for my preferred OS to |
| 30 |
boot, and then has |
| 31 |
entries that bing in other configuration files for various other |
| 32 |
situations. I've got two |
| 33 |
Gentoo collections, the Fedora collection and the Windows7 config. the |
| 34 |
grub2 "info" |
| 35 |
pages are complete but a little dense and not as well organized as they |
| 36 |
might be. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Good Luck. |
