In my disk imaging project include a script that allows adding g4l
to grub2 similar to memtest86+
The g4l-lite-fc43.zip has the kernel and initramfs.lzma files and all
the grub4dos bios and grub4dos.
For the grub2 the kernel file bz7x0.1 and initramfs.lzma need to be
added to /boot, and the /boot/loader/entries/needs to be created.
cat mkefiloader.sh
#!/usr/bin/bash
unzip g4l-lite-fc43.zip linux/bz7x0.1 linux/initramfs.lzma -d /boot
# puts kernel and initramfs in /boot directory
# create /boot/loader/entries for option to load from grub2
machineid=$(cat /etc/machine-id)
{
echo title G4L 0.70
echo version 0.G4L
echo linux /$(ls bz* | grep -v .config)
echo initrd /initramfs.lzma
echo grub_users \$grub_users
echo grub_arg --unrestricted
echo grub_class fedora
} >/boot/loader/entries/"$machineid"-0-G4L.conf
Don't see what is so complicated in that.
