I've got some new stuff:
Using Grub2 command line I am able to invoke `ls` to see all available
device / partitions and guixsd bootable partition is present as
(hd0,msdos1).
So I want to boot Linux manually from Grub2 command line.
set root=3D(hd0,msdos1)
Next steps are to set boot files and boot prompt. I found nothing like
"vmlinuz" at the root (it would be too easy) but after some meandering
I find the two files /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img and
/boot/grub/i386-pc/boot.img
linux /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img
returns error: "invalid magic number"
linux /boot/grub/i386-pc/boot.img
returns error: "unexpected end of file /boot/grub/i386-pc/boot.img"
I have some questions:
- Where in the bootable partition is the boot file I should launch?
- If this boot file is core.img, how should I fix this magic number?
- If this boot file is boot.img, how do I make sure the file has been
correctly copied?
- Is the image really usable "out of the box" or does it require some tunin=
g?
Thanks in advance.
