# This grub.cfg file was created by Lance http://www.pendrivelinux.com | |
# Suggested Entries and the suggester, if available, will also be noted. | |

#Used GRUB2 with command `grub2-install` instead, along with the `--boot-directory` parameter. | |
# If you get an error about failing 'to get a canonical path', or folders not existing on the device, then again, you need to run the command as a privileged user. | |
# If you get errors concerning a bad superblock, and unable to install grub, try rewriting the filesystem again. | |

# Explanations: | |
# Suffixes/Acronyms/Abbreviations: | |
# DWY - Doesn't work yet. Obviously incomplete, or tested and no working combination of boot information has been found yet. | |
# Untested - Boot information copied from some source, but not executed/tested yet. | |
# WIP - Work in progress. DWY, but has focus for eventually producing a success result. | |
# For variables, be sure to use double-quotes to have them actually resolve in the string. | |
# Need to re-declare variables inside sub-menus because they open a new "context"..... great.. | |

# Possibly useful notes for adding more EFI content: | |
# `linuxefi` and `initrdefi` | |
# Hybrid ESP? | |
# Linting: | |
# Make sure every 'submenu' command contains 3 periods at the end, connected to the main content string's last character | |
# Testing Strategies: | |
# sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -drive "format=raw,file=$drive"; | |
# Must unmount partition to flush saved data??.. | |
# USB Device Passthrough/Filtering | |
# Stopped being detected by Virtual Box bootloader, or I was not finding the alternative boot option. | |
# May have worked for me before, at least on a Windows Host, but stopped? | |
# Tried my old USB2 ports since the USB3 ones did not seem to work, same failure. | |
# Used the same old USB3 flash drive. | |
# Virtual Box/Machine Hypervisor Storage Drive Passthrough | |
# Obsoleted by USB passthrough? | |
# KVM may be easier | |
# Commands & Notes | |
# `VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename \ | |
# path-to-file.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sda` | |
# `VBoxManage storageattach WindowsXP --storagectl "IDE Controller" \ | |
# --port 0 --device 0 --type hdd --medium path-to-file.vmdk` | |
# On a Windows host, instead of the above device specification, for example use \\.\PhysicalDrive0. | |
# On a Mac OS X host, instead of the above device specification use for example /dev/disk1. | |
# Note that on Mac OS X you can only get access to an entire disk if no volume is mounted from it. | |

Any idea how to boot TENS (trusted end node security? either as frugal install or iso?
thanks
install iso tens in rufus (it does not work in uefi mode only legacy)
Hello, I don't understand $grub4dosPath, $toolPath, $hbcdPath, and $menuLstPath.
hi, when i try to boot from live iso my system give error "Secure boot forbids loading module from (hd0,gpt9)." I have Kde Neon user edition installed on sda9 and iso file located on an ntfs patition (hd0,gpt5). Is it necessary to disable secure boot or is there any workaround?
And is it necessary to add gpt before partiton number

Unfortunately, Secure Boot won't allow booting loop ISO's.
Hi,
I just used your live elementaryos entry with great success. Thank you so much
@ajfmo: My knowledge is limited, so I would just say whichever articles you find searching online.
@shamilbi: Swear I had tried that, and this config is annoying to test, but added the change, thanks.. Maybe I tested it earlier using a longer line like in bash with an assignment as well and found it didn't work, so removed it earlier.
@grechen: I don't know much about all of this, so I would just search for common boot strategies that I find online on Q&A sites, wiki article collections, GitHub or other online source repositories for popular projects like Rufus, or dig into the ISO/package file itself and copy that completely or partially and check OS manuals if that still doesn't work. Seems like paulotate recommends that Rufus does support booting that OS image, and only using the 'legacy' mode option.
@OmaKing: They are paths for the other utilities to help save writing the complete path manually and repeatedly, but also allows for more efficient, automatic changes by only updating the variable.
@verndog I probably need to explore more EFI booting options, at least to work with a Chromebook I have.
Hello, this looks lit! So far I cannot use any of this rigth now, I'm newbiew with grub4dos menu commands, But I would like to build a custom menu that works fast and looks good. can you give some tips(e.g. how to a custom splashimage?) please...
