Fedora 20
Multi-boot Manual Bootloader
Fedora 20 does not offer an option to install the bootloader to a partition. This is the workaround:
- Begin Fedora installation as usual.
- Enter the Installation Destination spoke.
- Click on Full disk summary and bootloader… at the bottom left
- Select the disk with a check and click Do not install bootloader
- Click Close, and proceed with installation as desired
- When installation is complete and Fedora tells you to reboot, don’t! Instead hit ctrl-alt-f2, and run the following commands:
chroot /mnt/sysimage echo "GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true" >> /etc/default/grub grub2-install --no-floppy --force /dev/sda1 grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Optional, add other boot chainloaders to /etc/grub.d/40_custom
menuentry "Fedora (chainload)" { insmod ext2 insmod chain set root=(hd0,msdos1) chainloader +1 }
