Your GRUB2 command line, boot parameters and all boot entries are now protected. Where is the string generated by grub-mkpasswd_pbkdf2.
#Grub2 themes install
Install grub2 to 440-byte MBR boot code region ( recommended) Install grub2 optional packages ( my preference here) # pacman -S libisoburn os-prober mtools Install grub2 packages (grub-bios) # pacman -S grub-bios # dd if=/dev/sda of=./mbr_backup-only bs=446 mbr-bakup]# ls -al /root/mbr-bakup/ĭrwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 29 00:56. # dd if=/dev/sda of=./mbr_backup bs=512 count=1
If you do not want to overwrite your partition table when restoring, it is strongly advised to backup only the MBR boot code: # dd if=/dev/sdX of=/path/to/backup/mbr_backup bs=512 count=1 Only 446 bytes of the MBR contain boot code, the next 64 contain the partition table.
be prepared this is a long post - but it should help others who may fall into the same category as me =)ĪrchLinux News :: GRUB legacy no longer supportedīakup grub-legacy files before installing 'grub-bios' # mv /boot/grub /boot/grub-legacyīakup the MBR which contains the boot code and partition table I ran into some issues due to the fact that I run a multi-boot system (ArchLinux w/ dm-crypt + LUKS full disk crypto, WIN7圆4 w/ TrueCrypt, and Backtrack 5R2).
#Grub2 themes update
hey all, just went thru the GRUB2 update (meaning I'm no longer using grub-legacy).
