hy im trying to install arch as the third os on my windows / ubuntu machine and i cant figure it out how to set the grub bootloader i have already read the friendly manual but probably also due to my non native English origins i coudnt find an answer to my question witch is during the arch install should i reinstall grub with grub-install ? i would prefer to keep the old (ubuntu) one also because its already customized but unfortunately i cant…if i dont install it i dont have the directory /boot/grub in witch i should place the grub.conf file so should i just create this directory ? i have tried with os-prober correctly activated to generate a new grub.conf but it doesnt pick up the arch install …, what are the files i must have to make grub recognize those partitions as a new os to witch assign a new boot entry …
If I’m not mistaken couldn’t you just mount your already configured grub bootloader to /mnt/boot?
For example, during the arch install if your grub is at /dev/sda2, couldn’t you do mount --mkdir /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot?
Somebody who knows more than I do can definitely jump in here as well! But could give that a try
Hy I think silent_water is saying the same thing but unfortunately I don’t already have a separate boot partition thanks for the answer I will defenetly dig deeper
