How to set dual boot menu in ipxe ?
-
Hello,
The case looks like this: I installed Windows 10 on the new computer, then installed Linux Ubuntu. When booting (boot from hard disc) my computer the GRUB menu appears and I can choose which system I want to choose windows or linux (that’s the point).The problem appears when I set up network boot. Then ipxe fog menu comes with a list to choose from. One option is boot from hard disc, but after selecting it, the system automatically starts windows 10 (I do not have the option to choose what I want to run - windows or linux)
I looked in the web interface, found only the fog configuration menu and there is boot exit settings (only the REFIND_EFI option works - exit to hard drive type EFI, but only win 10 started)
Can someone tell me how I can set up dual boot menu (windows/linux to choose) in ipxe menu ?
Can this be set from the web interface? -
@kisagh In uefi mode there are only two options that work and one of the two have a flaw at the moment. These two exit modes for uefi are
refind
andexit
, withexit
having a flaw ( @developers ). By default refind is configured to boot the first windows OS it finds. In your case you want it to boot into grub and then let grub take over the booting process.I don’t dual boot so I can only tell you where to look. In the following file is the configuration for refind.
/var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe
I know its possible to tell refind what to look for and even create a similar menu function as you have in grub.The other option is to not boot through ipxe. In this case if you don’t need unattended imaging, set the hard drive as default then have the imaging tech press the F10 or F12 keys at boot to enter into the uefi boot manager. Then from there pick network boot when you want to image with FOG.
