Hey,
yeah, I’m totally there with you. I’m for sure one of the most old school ;-)
But nobody ever wants to use the T2 site donate button. Each day I spend
developing T2 I have no income. So now I try at least covering some T2
development costs via funny / fancy YouTube ;-)
As you prefer text and if the grub manual is not full enough with examples,
here is the copy of my vmware install:
set debug=video
insmod efi_gop
insmod efi_uga
insmod font
if loadfont ${prefix}/unicode.pf2
then
insmod gfxterm
set gfxmode=auto
set gfxpayload=keep
terminal_output gfxterm
fi
# Boot automatically after 30 secs.
set timeout=30
# By default, boot the GNU/Linux
set default=linux
# For booting GNU/Linux
menuentry "T2 Linux install" --id linux {
set root=(hd0,gpt2)
linux /boot/vmlinuz_4.10.1-dist root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/123-456-789 #
/dev/sda2
initrd /boot/initrd-4.10.1-dist.img
}
the by-uuid only work in T2 since a week or two, as I adapted the inited to
include more u/dev stuff for this device links to be created early enough.
In the time I replied to all the email, I could however, indeed already written
the iso argument generation shell code, .. :-/
Good night,
René
