# Basic Startup
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BIOS > MBR > GRUB > Kernel > Init > Run Level
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The BIOS identifies system hardware.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The Master Boot Record contains partition and filesystem data.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The Grand Unified Bootloader executes the kernel.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The Init Executes designates run level (via SysVinit, Upstart, or Systemd).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Run Level starts the user's session.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Master Boot Record is a 512 byte file called boot.img which starts the first sectore of core.img into memory (GRUB Stage 1.5), which then executes /boot/grub.

# Access system
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ctrl+c at boot then add in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> rw init=bash
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Run Levels
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
0: Half
|
||
|
|
1: Single user mode
|
||
|
|
2: Multi-user, without NFS
|
||
|
|
3: Full multi-user mode
|
||
|
|
4: Unused
|
||
|
|
5: X11
|
||
|
|
6: Reboot

None of this is used by humans anymore - it's all systemd.

# Boot Records
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
'File System Tab' under /etc/fstab keeps track of the partitions and boot order.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The logical voluem manager (LVM) can make non-hardware partitions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The nomenclature is:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- PV = physical volume
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- LV = logical volume
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- VG = volume group
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Volume Groups
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> sudo vgcreate work-volume /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdb4
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This creates the volume group 'work-volume', consisting in sdb2 and sdb4.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now you ahve a volume group, you can use it as part of a new logical volume.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> sudo lvcreate -n noob-lv work-volume
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then scan for all logical volumes on the system with lvscan.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> sudo lvscan
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# GRUB
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install a grub with either:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> sudo grub-install /dev/sda
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> sudo grub2-install /dev/sda
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This takes all settings from /etc/fstab.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then when done editing settings update the script in /boot/grub/grub.cfg (in Debian) or /boot/boot/grub/menu (in other systems).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are default examples in /etc/grub.d/ (but not on Ubuntu).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Finalize your settings with grub-mkconfig (or grub2-mkconfig), or update-grub.

If you can't do that, use boot-repair:
