If improperly configured, *GRUB2* may fail to load and subsequently drop
to a boot prompt. To boot into the system, proceed as follows:
. Load the XFS and LVM modules

insmod xfs
insmod lvm

. List the drives which *GRUB2* sees:

The outcome of the previous command will list the files on `/dev/sda1`. The partition that contains the `/boot` directory is the correct one. There you will search for the full names of the `vmlinuz` and `initramfs` files.
. Set the root partition.
. Pre-boot procedure for BTRFS filesystems.

* On BIOS systems:

Set *GRUB2* root to your boot partition. If your boot partition is `(hd0,msdos1)`, the command will be:
+
----
grub> set root=(hd0,3)
set root=(hd0,msdos1)
----
Next, select the desired kernel. Set the root partition (e.g. `/dev/sda2`):

linux /vmlinuz-5.14.10-300.fc35.x86_64 root=/dev/sda2 ro rootflags=subvol=root

This command tells the bootloader, that the root partition is the third partition on the first drive. This would correspond to the `/dev/sda3` device.
. Set the desired kernel.
* On UEFI systems:
+
Set *GRUB2* root to your EFI system partition. If your EFI partition is `(hd0,gpt1)`, the command will be:
+
----
grub> linux (hd0,1)/vmlinuz-3.0.0-1.fc16.i686 root=/dev/sda3 rhgb quiet selinux=0
# NOTE : add other kernel args if you need them
# NOTE : change the numbers to match your system
set root=(hd0,gpt1)

Next, select the desired kernel. Find the path to `vmlinuz` and set the root partition (e.g. `/dev/sda3`):

linux (hd0,gpt2)/vmlinuz-5.14.10-300.fc35.x86_64 root=/dev/sda3 ro rootflags=subvol=root

. Set the desired `initrd`.
. Pre-boot procedure for LVM filesystems.

Load the `xfs` and `lvm` modules if they are not already loaded (check this with `lsmod`):

Set *GRUB2* root to your boot partition. If your boot partition is `(hd0,msdos1)`, the command will be:
