In Pursuit of 'Slack' - Slackware UEFI Plus Grub Install
Показать описание
I'm not a fan of Lilo, the default Slackware bootloader, so this video illustrates how grub can be installed during the installation on a UEFI system
I use the Slackware current iso but the process is essentially the same for stable - 14.2
The key thing here is to reject the options to install Lilo or ELilo and drop back to a root prompt after installation has finished but before rebooting. Then issue the following commands:
mount
chroot /mnt /bin/bash
source /etc/profile
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=grub
For a non-UEFI system the grub install command is:
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi /dev/sda #or whatever your drive is called
For virtual box to boot on UEFI you also need to copy grub to a new directory:
mkdir -p /boot/efi/EFI/boot # -p option creates any intermediate directories
That's it. Links to useful pages below:
#Slackware
#Slackbuilds
#Multilib how to
#Ponce Repo for Current
Slackpkg+
#SBOtools
#SBOpkg
