NAME

setup-boot — write the kernel command line for an installed system

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

setup-boot writes /etc/limine-sync.conf in the system mounted at mountpoint, with the kernel command line that limine-sync puts in the boot menu. Run it after setup-filesystem(8) and before the kernel is installed; see bootloader(7).

Everything is taken from what is mounted under mountpoint now, so mount the target as it will be at run time first.

• A plain root file system is named by its UUID:
  root=UUID=<uuid> ro quiet
• An encrypted root, a /dev/mapper/name device, is traced back to its LUKS partition:
  cryptroot=UUID=<luks uuid> root=/dev/mapper/<name> ro quiet
  The initramfs opens it under the same name, so that name must not change.

setup-boot also warns if the EFI system partition is not mounted at boot/efi or is not of the EFI System partition type, and if there are encrypted volumes besides root but no /etc/crypttab. It does not write /etc/crypttab; that is done by genluks(8).
