[[booting-with-configfile-on-different-partition]]
|
|
= Booting the system using a configuration file on a different partition.
|
|
|
|
If you end up in *GRUB2* boot prompt, it is also possible to boot using a _configfile_ that's located on another
|
|
partition, as is often the case with multi-boot systems containing Ubuntu and Fedora. Follow the below procedure
|
|
if you need to boot from a configuration file on a different partition.
|
|
|
|
.Procedure
|
|
|
|
. Load the necessary modules to read your system's partitions (you will also need to load `part_msdos` or `part_gpt`, depending on your partition table).
|
|
+
|
|
* For BTRFS filesystems:
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
grub> insmod btrfs
|
|
----
|
|
+
|
|
* For LVM filesystems:
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
grub> insmod xfs
|
|
grub> insmod lvm
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
. Set *GRUB2* root to your `/boot` partition. On UEFI systems, you should set *GRUB2* root to the EFI system partition.
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
grub> set root=(hd0,msdos1)
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
. Set the path to the configuration file.
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
grub> configfile /grub2/grub.cfg
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
.More information
|
|
|
|
* The *hd0,msdos1* line shows the pertinent `/boot` partition, which holds the `grub.cfg` file. The setting may be different on your system. See also xref:_using_the_grub2_boot_prompt[Using the GRUB2 boot prompt] for more information.
