<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>systemd-boot</command> or <command>sd-boot</command> is a simple
|
|
UEFI boot manager, previously known as <command>gummiboot</command>. It provides
|
|
a graphical menu to select the entry to boot and an editor for the kernel command
|
|
line. sd-boot is only useful on machines using UEFI.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>sd-boot loads information from the EFI system partition (ESP), usually
|
|
mounted at <filename>/boot</filename>, <filename>/efi</filename>, or
|
|
<filename>/boot/efi</filename>. Configuration file fragments, kernels, initrds,
|
|
other EFI images need to reside on the ESP. Linux kernels must be built with
|
|
<option>CONFIG_EFI_STUB</option> to be able to be directly executed as an EFI
|
|
image. sd-boot will automatically list other boot entries registered as EFI boot
|
|
variables, and a list of kernels from configuration files following the <ulink
|
|
url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/BootLoaderSpec">Boot Loader
|
|
Specification</ulink> located under <filename>/loader/entries/</filename> on the
|
|
ESP.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><citerefentry><refentrytitle>kernel-install</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
may be used to copy kernel images onto the ESP and to generate entries compliant
|
|
with the Boot Loader Specification.
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>bootctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
may be used from a running system to locate the ESP, list available entries, and
|
|
install sd-boot itself.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>sd-boot will provide information about the time spent in UEFI firmware
|
|
using the
|
|
<ulink url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/BootLoaderInterface">Boot Loader Interface</ulink>.

<para>sd-boot reads configuration like the timeout and default entry from

<filename>/loader/loader.conf</filename> on the ESP and from EFI variables. See
