GRUB/ja

GRUB2 はモダンなコンピュータをサポートするブートローダです. これは、古いGRUBブートローダ(今では"GRUB Legacy"と呼ばれています)を置き換えることを意図されています. GRUB2はGRUB Legacyとは完全に分離したコードベースを持ち、進化したスクリプティングを可能にする新しいシェルライクなシンタックスを誇りにしています. 現在のGRUB LegacyユーザはシステムをGRUB2に移行することが推奨されます.

For a shotgun approach, see GRUB2 Quick Start.

インストール
パッケージはスロット化されています. grub-0.97(GRUB Legacy) と grub-2.00 は同時にインストールされることができますが、MBRにはどちらか1つのバージョンのGRUBのみをインストールすることができます. この記事では、GRUB2について解説します.

デフォルトでは、GRUB2はデフォルトのプラットフォームターゲットをビルド時に推測します. これは において GRUB_PLATFORMS 変数をセットすることでオーバーライドできます.

ターゲットのCPU毎に、次のプラットフォームがサポートされています:

通常のemergeシンタックスを用いてGRUB2をインストールします:

必要なら、 ユーティリティ( で提供されます)をインストールして、 コマンドを実行した際にGRUB2が他のオペレーティングシステムを探索するようにしてください. たいていの場合、これでGRUB2が自動で他のオペレーティングシステム(Windows 7, Windows 8.1 など)を検出できるようになります.

GRUB2(と、場合によっては)をインストールしても、ブートローダは自動では有効になりません. これらは、オペレーティングシステムにソフトウェアをインストールするのみで、(システムのブート時にそれが使われるようにするために)システムそのものにブートローダをインストールするには、追加のステップが必要になります. これについては設定セクションで解説します.

設定
GRUB2 の設定には２つの重要な作業があります:
 * 1) GRUB2 のソフトウェアを、システムのブートローダーとしてインストール
 * 2) GRUB2 ブートローダー自体の設定

GRUB2ソフトウェアのインストールはシステムのタイプによってそれぞれ異なり、ブートローダーのインストールで解説します. まず、ブートローダそのものの設定について解説します.

メインの設定ファイル
grubの設定を生成するために、 スクリプトを使います. これは 以下のスクリプト及び  設定ファイルを用い、最終的な  を――GRUB2自体が使用する唯一の設定ファイルを――生成します.

GRUB2は、(GRUB Legacy や LILO のような)管理者によるブートオプション設定の手動での維持を必要としません. その代わりに、 コマンドを用いて、設定ファイルを生成することができます. このユーティリティは にあるスクリプトと  の設定を使用します.

何らかの設定を変更したら、 ユーティリティを にある出力ファイル(これはGRUB2のデフォルトの出力場所です)を指定した  オプション付きで実行します:

ユーティリティが呼ばれるたびに、新しい設定が生成されます.

Setting configuration parameters
The following variables in are the most common ones to set to control how GRUB2 will function:

For a more complete list, please refer to the GRUB2 configuration variables sub-page.

After modifying the parameters, regenerate the GRUB2 configuration file with.

Enabling or disabling configuration scripts
The directory contains the scripts that  uses to generate a  file. By default the contents of this directory should be similar to the following:

GRUB2 will use all installed scripts that are marked as executable (which by default, they all are). To disable any of the scripts simply remove the executable bit from the script's file permissions using the command. In the following example every script but and  are disabled:

After modifying the scripts (or removing the executable bit), regenerate the GRUB2 configuration file using.

Manipulating configuration scripts
Some features or GRUB2 functionalities are only possible to be exploited by modifying the configuration scripts. For instance, to support dual-booting with FreeBSD, the following manipulation needs to be done.

Change the script to:

or  is the partition in which FreeBSD resides. If the normal UFS install was used for the FreeBSD partition then is a container (something like a logical partition). It consists of the swap and root partition. Verify the script is executable by running. If the executable bit is not set then set it using the command.

Next install GRUB2 using the command and update GRUB2's configuration file:

ブートローダーのインストール
Installing GRUB2 as the system's boot loader depends on how the system is meant to boot (through BIOS or UEFI) and how the disk on which the boot loader should be installed is partitioned (using MBR or GPT partition layout).

This article covers the following situations:


 * BIOS with MBR
 * BIOS with GPT
 * UEFI with GPT

Select the installation instructions appropriate for the system.

BIOS with MBR
Make sure that the location is available - if this uses a separate partition, make sure that it is mounted:

Run the command to copy the relevant files to. On the PC platform, this also installs a boot image to the Master Boot Record (MBR) or a partition's boot sector. If all goes well, after running an output such as the one below is to be expected:

accepts a  option to set the CPU architecture and system platform. If unspecified, will attempt to guess the proper values; on an / system it will use   by default. also accepts a  option to tell the GRUB2 installer which directory to look for GRUB2's boot files. This defaults to the current but is useful when trying to move a root partition.

Partitioning for BIOS with MBR
Be sure to leave enough free space before the first partition. Starting the first partition at sector 2048 leaves at least 1 MiB of disk space for the master boot record. It is recommended (but not mandatory) to create an additional partition for GRUB called the BIOS boot partition. This partition just needs to be defined, but not formatted.

If the Gentoo installation instructions were followed, this BIOS boot partition will already be available.

BIOS with GPT
If a partition is needed, start by mounting the  partition:

If all goes well, after running the command an output such as the one below is to be expected:

accepts a  option to set the CPU architecture and system platform. If unspecified, will attempt to guess the correct at the correct values; on an / system it will use   by default. also accepts a  option to tell the GRUB2 installer which directly to look for GRUB2's boot files. This defaults to the current but is useful when trying to move a root partition.

Partitioning for BIOS with GPT
When a GPT partition table is present on the system, a small BIOS boot partition with type  (which is different from the EFI System Partition (ESP) which has type  ) will need to be available. 1 MiB will be enough to work but 2-4 MiB is a safer option. This BIOS boot partition will hold the stage 2 of the bootloader. BIOS boot partitions do not need formatted with a filesystem; the command will overwrite any pre-existing filesystem with one of its own.

To set a partition as a BIOS partition use the command line tool  by typing (change   to the number of the partition to mark as a BIOS boot partition!):

With 's utility, this is accomplished by setting the partition type to   and give it a label of.

An EFI System Partition is not required, but it would be sensible to make sure that the BIOS boot partition is large enough to be converted to one, should the system motherboard later be upgraded to an EFI board.

The following is the output of pressing the key using the  utility on a GPT partitioned disk with both a BIOS boot [0xEF02] partition and an EFI [0xEF00] partition:

Using the same setup, the utility gives an output with slightly different syntax:

Creating partitions in is straight forward for users already familiar with the  partitioning utility. After starting, type (for new) in the main menu, provide beginning and end sectors (if needed), then set the partition type   for an EFI system partition.

Users who have followed the Gentoo installation instructions will already have the proper partitioning layout set up.

UEFI with GPT
Make sure that the location is available - if this uses a separate partition, make sure that it is mounted:

Run the command to copy the relevant files to. This should install Grub2 in, copy the core image to , and call efibootmgr to add a boot entry.

The above command assumes the vfat EFI System Partition (ESP) is mounted at. If the ESP is mounted directly at, use.

also accepts a  option to set the CPU architecture and system platform. If unspecified, will attempt to guess the proper values; on an AMD64 EFI-booted system it will use   by default. also accepts a  option to tell the GRUB2 installer which directory to look for GRUB2's boot files. This defaults to but is useful when trying to move a root partition.

Partitioning for UEFI with GPT
For UEFI GPT boot using GRUB2, the system must have a dedicated EFI partition containing a FAT filesystem.

The EFI partition can replace having a partition on  by having a  partition on. This is to say a successful EFI boot scenario using GRUB2 can operate with two partitions total (three total if a swap partition is needed): a root partition and an EFI partition. Using this configuration, the folder will be located in the root  partition (at ) and the EFI partition will mount in the boot folder (at ). For further clarification, see the example file below.

Generating a 100MB partition for should provide plenty of space for holding multiple  files (multiple entries will most likely not be needed; most systems will only use one).

Create the partition using the partitioning tool of choice. The  and   tools fit nicely for this purpose. When using the utility, be sure to use type.

Proceed to create a FAT filesystem on the EFI system partition using and add it to  by following the example below:

Alternative: using the default UEFI firmware location
If the system's UEFI firmware fails to find GRUB2's EFI bootloader file, using the default boot loader location should provide a working solution. This circumvents the boot menu managed by efibootmgr and thus offers reduced functionality, but is less error prone. To do this, verify the EFI partition is mounted at then copy the file  located at  to. This example assumes a 64-bit EFI system, adjust accordingly for 32-bit EFI systems.

Extended features
GRUB2 has many features that make it a very powerful boot loader. It supports:


 * Booting from UEFI platforms.
 * Booting from GPT partitioned drives without needing a hybrid MBR (hybrid MBR can enabled as needed for compatibility or portability).
 * Booting from a btrfs formatted partition.
 * Booting directly from a btrfs raid set without needing an initramfs for early mount setup.
 * Booting directly from logical volume management (such as LVM2).
 * Booting with support for DM-RAID (RAID 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 9 and 10).
 * Booting from encrypted devices (LUKS).

Some specific features are explained in more detail next.

チェーンロード
GRUB2 was built with a truly improved chainload mode when compared to GRUB Legacy. To chainload another boot loader, use the  option.

For more information on chainloading, please see the Chainloading sub-page.

Using framebuffer display
To have GRUB2 use a framebuffer graphical display, re-emerge GRUB with the  USE flag enabled. This will install a default True Type font as well as a font conversion utility.

Proceed to configure the default GRUB2 configuration file located at. For example:

In order to find out what display modes the system's graphics card supports, use the following commands on the GRUB2 shell:

トラブルシューティング
Most of the issues can be resolved by ensuring that the partition layout is correct. Make sure enough space is available before the first partition of the disk, or optionally make sure that a BIOS boot partition is available. Also verify that was correctly generated with, or generate one with a custom menu entry.
