[systemd/systemd-boot}(https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Systemd/systemd-boot)

systemd-boot, formerly known as gummiboot (rubber dinghy), is a minimal UEFI boot manager.

¶Features

Bootloader integration with systemd provided by the bootctl command.
Ability to select next boot.
Easy and simple configuration files which can be generated automatically.
Auto add Windows and EFI firmware setup entries.
Change timeout, default entry, edit command line options on the fly from the boot menu.

¶ Installation

systemd-boot is included within sys-apps/systemd and, for users of non-systemd-init systems, sys-apps/systemd-utils.

¶ make menuconfig Because systemd-boot can only load EFI executables, the desired kernel must support EFI stub (CONFIG_EFI_STUB=y):

KERNEL Enable EFI stub support (CONFIG_EFI_STUB)

Processor type and features  --->
    [*] EFI runtime service support
    [*]   EFI stub support
    [*]     EFI mixed-mode support
Kernel

[ ] EFI stub support: This option represents whether or not to include support for the EFI stub loader in the Linux kernel. The EFI stub loader allows the Linux kernel to be loaded directly from an EFI system partition, which is useful for systems with UEFI firmware. In this configuration snippet, this option is not selected, meaning that EFI stub support is disabled in the kernel.
[ ] EFI mixed-mode support: This option is related to UEFI mixed mode support, which is a feature that allows systems with UEFI firmware to run in both UEFI and legacy BIOS modes. When this option is selected, it enables support for mixed-mode booting. Mixed-mode booting allows you to boot both UEFI and legacy BIOS operating systems on the same system. In the provided snippet, this option is not selected, indicating that mixed-mode support is disabled in the kernel.
if both options are selected, the kernel will support EFI stub loading, and it will also support UEFI mixed-mode booting, making it versatile for different types of UEFI and legacy BIOS systems.

¶systemd

For versions of systemd >= 254, emerge sys-apps/systemd with the boot USE flag enabled:

emerge --ask app-portage/gentoolkit

(chroot) x8664Arch /usr/src/linux-6.1.57-gentoo # equery --quiet list systemd
sys-apps/systemd-253.11

root #mkdir -p /etc/portage/package.use root #echo "sys-apps/systemd boot" >> /etc/portage/package.use/systemd root #emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose sys-apps/systemd

> --oneshot: This option tells Portage to treat the specified package as a one-time installation, meaning that it won't be added to your system's world file. The world file is a record of installed packages that Portage keeps for managing your system.

&para; Make sure the system is booted with efi support

¶ Note

bootctl will attempt to automatically identify an ESP mounted at /efi, /boot, or /boot/efi (in that order). If the ESP is mounted elsewhere, pass the --esp-path option to specify the appropriate location.

I prefer using /boot/efi

grub2 Rescue

Booting From grub>

This is how to set the boot files and boot the system from the grub> prompt. We know from running the ls command that there is a Linux root filesystem on (hd0,1), and you can keep searching until you verify where /boot/grub is. Then run these commands, using your own root partition, kernel, and initrd image:

grub> ls
(hd0) (hd0,gpt3) (hd0,gpt2) (hd0,gpt1) (hd1) (hd1,gpt3)) (hd1,gpt2)) (hd1,gpt1)
grub> set root=(hd1,gpt3)
grub> linux /boot/vmlinuz-6.1.57-genyoo-x86_64 root=/dev/sdb3
grub> initrd /boot/initramfs-6.1.57-genyoo-x86_64.img
grub> boot

The first line sets the partition that the root filesystem is on. The second line tells GRUB the location of the kernel you want to use. Start typing /boot/vmli, and then use tab-completion to fill in the rest. Type root=/dev/sdX to set the location of the root filesystem. Yes, this seems redundant, but if you leave this out you’ll get a kernel panic. How do you know the correct partition? hd0,1 = /dev/sda1. hd1,1 = /dev/sdb1. hd3,2 = /dev/sdd2. I think you can extrapolate the rest.

The third line sets the initrd file, which must be the same version number as the kernel.

The fourth line boots your system.
