Bootloader Selection
Our installer offers the choice between systemd or Grub Bootloaders for modern EFI systems; for older systems, Grub will be the only option available. In addition, a bootloader install/setup can be opted out of if you want to add the OS manually to an existing bootloader setup.
| Bootloader | Settings used | Information |
|---|---|---|
| Systemd-boot | On EFI installs, it uses /efi/boot as a mount point for the EFI-partition (ESP), If Windows is installed aside/dual-boot it will add an entry by using a config under /etc/grub.d/45_eos_windows OS-prober is disabled by default, to use OS-prober the manual windows entry must be removed, and you need to enable it in /etc/default/grub. | Only available for EFI installs, mount point set to /efi for the efi partition (ESP).If Windows is installed in addition, it will add a boot entry automatically (static copy of Windows bootloader files into the ESP) |
| Grub | Optional inside installer for EFI systems, default for legacy systems (old Bios/MBR or CSM installs) | On EFI installs, it uses /efi/boot as a mount point for the EFI partition (ESP), If Windows is installed aside/dual-boot it will add an entry by using a config under /etc/grub.d/45_eos_windows OS-prober is disabled by default, to use OS-prober the manual windows entry must be removed, and you need to enable it in /etc/default/grub. |
