NAME
mkrlconf - Create a Linux kernel configuration file for rEFInd
SYNOPSIS
mkrlconf [ --force ]
DESCRIPTION
To boot a Linux kernel directly, rEFInd must normally pass system-specific parameters to help the kernel
locate its initial RAM disk (initrd) file, the installation's root filesystem, and so on. rEFInd stores
this information in a file called refind_linux.conf, which is stored in the same directory as the
kernel(s) to which it applies. The mkrlconf script creates this configuration file in /boot, using the
current boot options (from /proc/cmdline) to populate /boot/refind_linux.conf with boot options that are
probably (but not certainly) correct.
The file created in this way has three lines, which correspond to three entries on the rEFInd suboptions
menu. The first entry boots using the options found in /proc/cmdline. The second entry boots using the
same options as the first, but with single added. The third entry boots with minimal options of ro
root={CURRENT_ROOT_DEVICE}, where {CURRENT_ROOT_DEVICE} identifies the current root (/) filesystem. Users
may manually edit the refind_linux.conf file to suit their needs, of course.
OPTIONS
--force
Ordinarily, if mkrlconf finds an existing /boot/refind_linux.conf file, it refuses to replace it.
The --force option causes mkrlconf to replace the existing file in favor of one it generates.
