+The \fBlinux-boot-prober\fR utility will try to work out how to boot the
|
|
|
2e96e6 |
+linux root partition specified by \fI<partition>\fR. If successful, it
|
|
|
2e96e6 |
+will outoput one or more lines of the form:
|
|
|
2e96e6 |
+
|
|
|
2e96e6 |
+<root partition>:<boot partition>:<label>:<kernel path>:<initrd path>:<kernel parameters>
|
|
|
2e96e6 |
+
|
|
|
2e96e6 |
+For example, for a system with a kernel at \fI/boot/vmlinuz\fR and an
|
|
|
2e96e6 |
+initramfs at \fI/boot/initrd.gz\fR, and with \fI/\fR on \fI/dev/sda2\fR and
|
|
|
2e96e6 |
+\fI/boot\fR on \fI/dev/sda1\fR, the command "linux-boot-prober /dev/sda1" will
|
|
|
2e96e6 |
+display:
|
|
|
2e96e6 |

|

|
|
2e96e6 |
+
|
|
|
2e96e6 |
+Some partitions will not be displayed by \fBlinux-boot-prober\fI. If a
|
|
|
2e96e6 |
+partition is mounted on \fI/\fR, \fI/target\fR, or \fI/target/boot\fR, it will

|

+The \fBos-prober\fR utility will scan all disks available on the system for
