Revision as of 13:59, 6 May 2021 by KevinK (talk | contribs) (Add man page as pointed out by papajoke on the forums)


systemd-boot is an alternative to other bootloaders such as GRUB.

Configuration

Customizing entries

The entries in the bootloader are automatically generated using sdboot-manage. The generated entries can be customized by editing /etc/sdboot-manage.conf.

After changing this file, the existing entries need to be regenerated.

user $ sudo sdboot-manage gen COPY TO CLIPBOARD


Setting up Plymouth splash screen

After installing Plymouth the kernel bootline needs to be adjusted. This can be done by editing /etc/sdboot-manage.conf as follows:

Find the line

#LINUX_OPTIONS=""

and replace it with

LINUX_OPTIONS="quiet splash loglevel=3 rd.udev.log_priority=3 vt.global_cursor_default=0"

Further configuration

For further configuration such as custom entries, refer to ArchWiki.
