Hallo,
is it possible to query the "breadcrumb" of a grub boot process?
Say I have multiple partitions, e.g. /dev/sda1, /dev/sda5, /dev/sda6,
with different LFS versions.
When booting grub chooses grub.cfg from the partition that ran the
last grub-install command (e.g. /dev/sda1).
But: if I choose manually to boot from e.g. /dev/sda5, it would still
have used the grub.cfg from /dev/sda1, and if I wanted to change boot
parameters I'd have to edit /dev/sda1 grub.cfg.
Is there a query function that I can use to find out how my system got
bootstrapped?
stay healthy,
Thomas

Use a single boot partition and install grub to use that.
Then copy the kernel from each partition to into the boot partition.
Edit the grub menu.
Yes, See the Caution at
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter10/kernel.html
For multiple instances, this is a much cleaner solution.
Also see
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter02/creatingpartition.html
where we recommend a separate /boot partition.
