Systemd-boot for all UEFI systems

Instead of booting up with grub or Refind we can use systemd-boot.

We will however mount our /dev/sda1 into /boot and not /boot/efi.
That is the only difference with the tutorial.

At the beginning we should have mounted /dev/sda1(uefi) in /mnt/boot.

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot

bootctl install

nano /boot/loader/loader.conf

default  arch

timeout  5

editor   no

nano /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf

title Arch Linux

linux /vmlinuz-linux

initrd /initramfs-linux.img

options root=/dev/sda3 rw

BTRFS

title Arch Linux

linux /vmlinuz-linux

initrd /initramfs-linux.img

options initrd=/initramfs-linux.img root=/dev/sda3 rw rootflags=subvol=@

Possible additions if you have the package installed:

initrd  /intel-ucode.img

initrd  /amd-ucode.img

cp /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf /boot/loader/entries/arch-fallback.conf

nano /boot/loader/entries/arch-fallback.conf

Change the text – compare with what is written here

title Arch Linux Fallback
linux /vmlinuz-linux
initrd /initramfs-linux-fallback.img
options root=/dev/sda3 rw

cp /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf /boot/loader/entries/arch-terminal.conf

Change the text – compare with what is written here

title Arch Linux Terminal
linux /vmlinuz-linux
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
options root=/dev/sda3 rw systemd.unit=multi-user.target

systemctl enable systemd-boot-update.service

We can check our work with this command.

bootctl list
