arch boot tools

update-arch-boot

Bash script to automatically download and install the current Archboot initrd and kernel files.

./update-archboot.sh

• this will download the latest initramfs and kernel (vmlinuz), verify their signatures and install them to /boot.

systemd-boot-mkconfig

Bash script to update the kernel command line options for systemd-boot bootloader entries. This is essentially the poor man's grub-mkconfig for the systemd bootloader.

Usage

• create /etc/cmdline and add your kernel command line options to it on a single line
• an example might look like this

cryptdevice=/dev/mapper/VolumeGroup0-lvroot:root:allow-discards root=/dev/mapper/root rw init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd fbcon=scrollback:128k

• copy the script to your desired location (eg. /usr/bin/local) and make it executable
• run the script as root

./systemd-boot-mkconfig.sh
