# gentoo-vdr-scripts grub2 syntax

# example grub2 entry for reboot and default boot kernel
# set this
# /boot/grub2/custom.cfg
# or
# /etc/grub.d/40_custom

### reboot kernel
# some Motherboards need a reboot to write the wakeup time into the BIOS

# <snipp>

## 0 ##
menuentry 'NVRAM-Poweroff' {
set saved_entry='1'
save_env saved_entry
set root='(hd0,5)'
linux (hd0,1)/kernel-default root=/dev/sda5 quiet init=/sbin/poweroff quiet
}

#</snapp>

# in this case, use of init=/sbin/poweroff to stop the system reboot
# use of init=/sbin/halt should work too, but is not supported by all motherboard
# I am using for boot/reboot the same kernel, the gentoo reboot kernel did not
# work on my system


### default kernel
# <snipp>

## 1 ##
menuentry 'VDR - Gentoo' {
set root='(hd0,5)'
linux (hd0,1)/kernel-x.y.z root=/dev/sda5
}

# </snapp>

# in both examples is
# boot partition = /dev/sda1 = (hd0,1)
# data partition = /dev/sda5


# set for the reboot example on top in /etc/conf.d/vdr.shutdown
