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.
