- help
- GNU GRUB is a Multiboot boot loader. It was derived from
- GRUB, the GRand Unified Bootloader, which was originally
- designed and implemented by Erich Stefan Boleyn. GRUB 2 has
- replaced what was formerly known as GRUB (i.e. version
- 0.9x), which has, in turn, become GRUB Legacy.
- Amongst others, GRUB2 offers EFI support, which GRUB Legacy
- doesn't provide.
- Notes on using Grub2 for BIOS-based platforms
- =============================================
- 1. Create a disk image
- dd if=/dev/zero of=disk.img bs=1M count=32
- 2. Partition it (either legacy or GPT style partitions work)
- cfdisk disk.img
- - Create one partition, type Linux, for the root
- filesystem. The only constraint is to make sure there
- is enough free space *before* the first partition to
- store Grub2. Leaving 1 MB of free space is safe.
- 3. Setup loop device and loop partitions
- sudo losetup -f disk.img
- sudo partx -a /dev/loop0
- 4. Prepare the root partition
- sudo mkfs.ext3 -L root /dev/loop0p1
- sudo mount /dev/loop0p1 /mnt
- sudo tar -C /mnt -xf output/images/rootfs.tar
- sudo umount /mnt
- 5. Install Grub2
- sudo ./output/host/usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup \
- -b ./output/host/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/boot.img \
- -c ./output/images/grub.img -d . /dev/loop0
- 6. Cleanup loop device
- sudo partx -d /dev/loop0
- sudo losetup -d /dev/loop0
- 7. Your disk.img is ready!
- Using genimage
- --------------
- If you use genimage to generate your complete image,
- installing Grub can be tricky. Here is how to achieve Grub's
- installation with genimage:
- partition boot {
- in-partition-table = "no"
- image = "path_to_boot.img"
- offset = 0
- size = 512
- }
- partition grub {
- in-partition-table = "no"
- image = "path_to_grub.img"
- offset = 512
- }
- The result is not byte to byte identical to what
- grub-bios-setup does but it works anyway.
- To test your BIOS image in Qemu
- -------------------------------
- qemu-system-{i386,x86-64} -hda disk.img
- Notes on using Grub2 for EFI-based platforms
- ============================================
- 1. Create a disk image
- dd if=/dev/zero of=disk.img bs=1M count=32
- 2. Partition it with GPT partitions
- cgdisk disk.img
- - Create a first partition, type EF00, for the
- bootloader and kernel image
- - Create a second partition, type 8300, for the root
- filesystem.
- 3. Setup loop device and loop partitions
- sudo losetup -f disk.img
- sudo partx -a /dev/loop0
- 4. Prepare the boot partition
- sudo mkfs.vfat -n boot /dev/loop0p1
- sudo mount /dev/loop0p1 /mnt
- sudo cp -a output/images/efi-part/* /mnt/
- sudo cp output/images/bzImage /mnt/
- sudo umount /mnt
- 5. Prepare the root partition
- sudo mkfs.ext3 -L root /dev/loop0p2
- sudo mount /dev/loop0p2 /mnt
- sudo tar -C /mnt -xf output/images/rootfs.tar
- sudo umount /mnt
- 6 Cleanup loop device
- sudo partx -d /dev/loop0
- sudo losetup -d /dev/loop0
- 7. Your disk.img is ready!
- To test your EFI image in Qemu
- ------------------------------
- 1. Download the EFI BIOS for Qemu
- Version IA32 or X64 depending on the chosen Grub2
- platform (i386-efi vs. x86-64-efi)
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/edk2/files/OVMF/
- 2. Extract, and rename OVMF.fd to bios.bin and
- CirrusLogic5446.rom to vgabios-cirrus.bin.
- 3. qemu-system-{i386,x86-64} -L ovmf-dir/ -hda disk.img
- 4. Make sure to pass pci=nocrs to the kernel command line,
- to workaround a bug in the EFI BIOS regarding the
- EFI framebuffer.
