====GRUB2 example====
~Example of a menu entry for Puppy Linux in GRUB2. GRUB2's menu is configured in the plain text file ##/boot/grub/grub.cfg##. Menu entry usually come after the line ## ""###BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###"" ## :


~%%
menuentry 'Slacko 531 Linux (harddrive 1, partition 3)' --class gnu-linux --class gnu {
echo '1. settings'
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,3)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 65555554-aaaf-bbb2-a4a5-a4a5a4a5a4a5
echo '2. loading vmlinuz'
linux /slacko531/vmlinuz pmedia=atahd psubdir=slacko531
echo '3. loading initrd'
initrd /slacko531/initrd.gz
}
%%

~##insmod ext2## - use Linux format filesystem
-
~##set root='(hd0,3)'## - sets location to look for files (unless harddrive and partition are specified). In this example, the first harddrive is specified ##hd0## (typically sda), (counts harddrives from 0). The third partition is specified ##,3##, (counts partitions from 1). The single quotes in ##'(hd0,3)'## are critical, missing them will result in boot failure.
-
~##search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 65555554-aaaf-bbb2-a4a5-a4a5a4a5a4a5## - sets the partition to search by uuid (different for each partition on different, can be found using [[GParted]]).
-
~##linux /slacko531/vmlinuz pmedia=atahd psubdir=slacko531## - location of vmlinuz on partition, ##psubdir## specifics location to look for Puppy save file (if frugal installation).
