Some tweaks to information provided by install.sh; addition of
[refind] / refind.conf-sample
1 #
2 # refind.conf
3 # Configuration file for the rEFInd boot menu
4 #
5
6 # Timeout in seconds for the main menu screen. Setting the timeout to 0
7 # disables automatic booting (i.e., no timeout).
8 #
9 timeout 20
10
11 # Screen saver timeout; the screen blanks after the specified number of
12 # seconds with no keyboard input. The screen returns after most keypresses
13 # (unfortunately, not including modifier keys such as Shift, Control, Alt,
14 # or Option). The default is 0, which disables the screen saver.
15 #screensaver 300
16
17 # Hide user interface elements for personal preference or to increase
18 # security:
19 # banner - the rEFInd title banner (built-in or loaded via "banner")
20 # label - boot option text label in the menu
21 # singleuser - remove the submenu options to boot Mac OS X in single-user
22 # or verbose modes; affects ONLY MacOS X
23 # safemode - remove the submenu option to boot Mac OS X in "safe mode"
24 # hwtest - the submenu option to run Apple's hardware test
25 # arrows - scroll arrows on the OS selection tag line
26 # hints - brief command summary in the menu
27 # editor - the options editor (+, F2, or Insert on boot options menu)
28 # all - all of the above
29 # Default is none of these (all elements active)
30 #
31 #hideui singleuser
32 #hideui all
33
34 # Set the name of a subdirectory in which icons are stored. Icons must
35 # have the same names they have in the standard directory. The directory
36 # name is specified relative to the main rEFInd binary's directory. If
37 # an icon can't be found in the specified directory, an attempt is made
38 # to load it from the default directory; thus, you can replace just some
39 # icons in your own directory and rely on the default for others.
40 # Default is "icons".
41 #
42 #icons_dir myicons
43
44 # Use a custom title banner instead of the rEFInd icon and name. The file
45 # path is relative to the directory where refind.efi is located. The color
46 # in the top left corner of the image is used as the background color
47 # for the menu screens. Currently uncompressed BMP images with color
48 # depths of 24, 8, 4 or 1 bits are supported, as well as PNG images.
49 #
50 #banner hostname.bmp
51 #banner mybanner.png
52
53 # Custom images for the selection background. There is a big one (144 x 144)
54 # for the OS icons, and a small one (64 x 64) for the function icons in the
55 # second row. If only a small image is given, that one is also used for
56 # the big icons by stretching it in the middle. If only a big one is given,
57 # the built-in default will be used for the small icons.
58 #
59 # Like the banner option above, these options take a filename of an
60 # uncompressed BMP image file with a color depth of 24, 8, 4, or 1 bits,
61 # or a PNG image. The PNG format is required if you need transparency
62 # support (to let you "see through" to a full-screen banner).
63 #
64 #selection_big selection-big.bmp
65 #selection_small selection-small.bmp
66
67 # Set the font to be used for all textual displays in graphics mode.
68 # The font must be a PNG file with alpha channel transparency. It must
69 # contain ASCII characters 32-126 (space through tilde), inclusive, plus
70 # a glyph to be displayed in place of characters outside of this range,
71 # for a total of 96 glyphs. Only monospaced fonts are supported. Fonts
72 # may be of any size, although large fonts can produce display
73 # irregularities.
74 # The default is rEFInd's built-in font, Luxi Mono Regular 12 point.
75 #
76 #font myfont.png
77
78 # Use text mode only. When enabled, this option forces rEFInd into text mode.
79 # Passing this option a "0" value causes graphics mode to be used. Pasing
80 # it no value or any non-0 value causes text mode to be used.
81 # Default is to use graphics mode.
82 #
83 #textonly
84
85 # Set the EFI text mode to be used for textual displays. This option
86 # takes a single digit that refers to a mode number. Mode 0 is normally
87 # 80x25, 1 is sometimes 80x50, and higher numbers are system-specific
88 # modes. Mode 1024 is a special code that tells rEFInd to not set the
89 # text mode; it uses whatever was in use when the program was launched.
90 # If you specify an invalid mode, rEFInd pauses during boot to inform
91 # you of valid modes.
92 # CAUTION: On VirtualBox, and perhaps on some real computers, specifying
93 # a text mode and uncommenting the "textonly" option while NOT specifying
94 # a resolution can result in an unusable display in the booted OS.
95 # Default is 1024 (no change)
96 #
97 #textmode 2
98
99 # Set the screen's video resolution. Pass this option either:
100 # * two values, corresponding to the X and Y resolutions
101 # * one value, corresponding to a GOP (UEFI) video mode
102 # Note that not all resolutions are supported. On UEFI systems, passing
103 # an incorrect value results in a message being shown on the screen to
104 # that effect, along with a list of supported modes. On EFI 1.x systems
105 # (e.g., Macintoshes), setting an incorrect mode silently fails. On both
106 # types of systems, setting an incorrect resolution results in the default
107 # resolution being used. A resolution of 1024x768 usually works, but higher
108 # values often don't.
109 # Default is "0 0" (use the system default resolution, usually 800x600).
110 #
111 #resolution 1024 768
112 #resolution 3
113
114 # Launch specified OSes in graphics mode. By default, rEFInd switches
115 # to text mode and displays basic pre-launch information when launching
116 # all OSes except OS X. Using graphics mode can produce a more seamless
117 # transition, but displays no information, which can make matters
118 # difficult if you must debug a problem. Also, on at least one known
119 # computer, using graphics mode prevents a crash when using the Linux
120 # kernel's EFI stub loader. You can specify an empty list to boot all
121 # OSes in text mode.
122 # Valid options:
123 # osx - Mac OS X
124 # linux - A Linux kernel with EFI stub loader
125 # elilo - The ELILO boot loader
126 # grub - The GRUB (Legacy or 2) boot loader
127 # windows - Microsoft Windows
128 # Default value: osx
129 #
130 #use_graphics_for osx,linux
131
132 # Which non-bootloader tools to show on the tools line, and in what
133 # order to display them:
134 # shell - the EFI shell (requires external program; see rEFInd
135 # documentation for details)
136 # gptsync - the (dangerous) gptsync.efi utility (requires external
137 # program; see rEFInd documentation for details)
138 # apple_recovery - boots the Apple Recovery HD partition, if present
139 # mok_tool - makes available the Machine Owner Key (MOK) maintenance
140 # tool, MokManager.efi, used on Secure Boot systems
141 # about - an "about this program" option
142 # exit - a tag to exit from rEFInd
143 # shutdown - shuts down the computer (a bug causes this to reboot
144 # EFI systems)
145 # reboot - a tag to reboot the computer
146 # firmware - a tag to reboot the computer into the firmware's
147 # user interface (ignored on older computers)
148 # Default is shell,apple_recovery,mok_tool,about,shutdown,reboot,firmware
149 #
150 #showtools shell, mok_tool, about, reboot, exit, firmware
151
152 # Directories in which to search for EFI drivers. These drivers can
153 # provide filesystem support, give access to hard disks on plug-in
154 # controllers, etc. In most cases none are needed, but if you add
155 # EFI drivers and you want rEFInd to automatically load them, you
156 # should specify one or more paths here. rEFInd always scans the
157 # "drivers" and "drivers_{arch}" subdirectories of its own installation
158 # directory (where "{arch}" is your architecture code); this option
159 # specifies ADDITIONAL directories to scan.
160 # Default is to scan no additional directories for EFI drivers
161 #
162 #scan_driver_dirs EFI/tools/drivers,drivers
163
164 # Which types of boot loaders to search, and in what order to display them:
165 # internal - internal EFI disk-based boot loaders
166 # external - external EFI disk-based boot loaders
167 # optical - EFI optical discs (CD, DVD, etc.)
168 # hdbios - BIOS disk-based boot loaders
169 # biosexternal - BIOS external boot loaders (USB, eSATA, etc.)
170 # cd - BIOS optical-disc boot loaders
171 # manual - use stanzas later in this configuration file
172 # Note that the legacy BIOS options require firmware support, which is
173 # not present on all computers.
174 # On UEFI PCs, default is internal,external,optical,manual
175 # On Macs, default is internal,hdbios,external,biosexternal,optical,cd,manual
176 #

180 # This can help some users who find that some of their disks

182 # but are detected after pressing Esc.
183 # The default is 0.
184 #
185 #scan_delay 5
186
187 # When scanning volumes for EFI boot loaders, rEFInd always looks for
188 # Mac OS X's and Microsoft Windows' boot loaders in their normal locations,
189 # and scans the root directory and every subdirectory of the /EFI directory
190 # for additional boot loaders, but it doesn't recurse into these directories.
191 # The also_scan_dirs token adds more directories to the scan list.
192 # Directories are specified relative to the volume's root directory. This
193 # option applies to ALL the volumes that rEFInd scans UNLESS you include
194 # a volume name and colon before the directory name, as in "myvol:/somedir"
195 # to scan the somedir directory only on the filesystem named myvol. If a
196 # specified directory doesn't exist, it's ignored (no error condition
197 # results). The default is to scan the "boot" directory in addition to
198 # various hard-coded directories.
199 #
200 #also_scan_dirs boot,ESP2:EFI/linux/kernels
201
202 # Partitions to omit from scans. You must specify a volume by its
203 # label, which you can obtain in an EFI shell by typing "vol", from
204 # Linux by typing "blkid /dev/{devicename}", or by examining the
205 # disk's label in various OSes' file browsers.
206 # The default is "Recovery HD".
207 #
208 #dont_scan_volumes "Recovery HD"
209
210 # Directories that should NOT be scanned for boot loaders. By default,
211 # rEFInd doesn't scan its own directory or the EFI/tools directory.
212 # You can "blacklist" additional directories with this option, which
213 # takes a list of directory names as options. You might do this to
214 # keep EFI/boot/bootx64.efi out of the menu if that's a duplicate of
215 # another boot loader or to exclude a directory that holds drivers
216 # or non-bootloader utilities provided by a hardware manufacturer. If
217 # a directory is listed both here and in also_scan_dirs, dont_scan_dirs
218 # takes precedence. Note that this blacklist applies to ALL the
219 # filesystems that rEFInd scans, not just the ESP, unless you precede
220 # the directory name by a filesystem name, as in "myvol:EFI/somedir"
221 # to exclude EFI/somedir from the scan on the myvol volume but not on
222 # other volumes.
223 #
224 #dont_scan_dirs ESP:/EFI/boot,EFI/Dell
225
226 # Files that should NOT be included as EFI boot loaders (on the
227 # first line of the display). If you're using a boot loader that
228 # relies on support programs or drivers that are installed alongside
229 # the main binary or if you want to "blacklist" certain loaders by
230 # name rather than location, use this option. Note that this will
231 # NOT prevent certain binaries from showing up in the second-row
232 # set of tools. Most notably, MokManager.efi is in this blacklist,
233 # but will show up as a tool if present in certain directories. You
234 # can control the tools row with the showtools token.
235 # The default is shim.efi,PreLoader.efi,TextMode.efi,ebounce.efi,GraphicsConsole.efi,MokManager.efi,HashTool.efi,HashTool-signed.efi
236 #
237 #dont_scan_files shim.efi,MokManager.efi
238
239 # Scan for Linux kernels that lack a ".efi" filename extension. This is
240 # useful for better integration with Linux distributions that provide
241 # kernels with EFI stub loaders but that don't give those kernels filenames
242 # that end in ".efi", particularly if the kernels are stored on a
243 # filesystem that the EFI can read. When uncommented, this option causes
244 # all files in scanned directories with names that begin with "vmlinuz"
245 # or "bzImage" to be included as loaders, even if they lack ".efi"
246 # extensions. The drawback to this option is that it can pick up kernels
247 # that lack EFI stub loader support and other files. Passing this option
248 # a "0" value causes kernels without ".efi" extensions to NOT be scanned;
249 # passing it alone or with any other value causes all kernels to be scanned.
250 # Default is to NOT scan for kernels without ".efi" extensions.
251 #
252 scan_all_linux_kernels
253
254 # Set the maximum number of tags that can be displayed on the screen at
255 # any time. If more loaders are discovered than this value, rEFInd shows
256 # a subset in a scrolling list. If this value is set too high for the
257 # screen to handle, it's reduced to the value that the screen can manage.
258 # If this value is set to 0 (the default), it's adjusted to the number
259 # that the screen can handle.
260 #
261 #max_tags 0
262
263 # Set the default menu selection. The available arguments match the
264 # keyboard accelerators available within rEFInd. You may select the
265 # default loader using:
266 # - A digit between 1 and 9, in which case the Nth loader in the menu
267 # will be the default.
268 # - Any substring that corresponds to a portion of the loader's title
269 # (usually the OS's name or boot loader's path).
270 #
271 #default_selection 1
272
273 # Include a secondary configuration file within this one. This secondary
274 # file is loaded as if its options appeared at the point of the "include"
275 # token itself, so if you want to override a setting in the main file,
276 # the secondary file must be referenced AFTER the setting you want to
277 # override. Note that the secondary file may NOT load a tertiary file.
278 #
279 #include manual.conf
280
281 # Sample manual configuration stanzas. Each begins with the "menuentry"
282 # keyword followed by a name that's to appear in the menu (use quotes
283 # if you want the name to contain a space) and an open curly brace
284 # ("{"). Each entry ends with a close curly brace ("}"). Common
285 # keywords within each stanza include:
286 #
287 # volume - identifies the filesystem from which subsequent files
288 # are loaded. You can specify the volume by label or by
289 # a number followed by a colon (as in "0:" for the first
290 # filesystem or "1:" for the second).
291 # loader - identifies the boot loader file
292 # initrd - Specifies an initial RAM disk file
293 # icon - specifies a custom boot loader icon
294 # ostype - OS type code to determine boot options available by
295 # pressing Insert. Valid values are "MacOS", "Linux",
296 # "Windows", and "XOM". Case-sensitive.
297 # graphics - set to "on" to enable graphics-mode boot (useful
298 # mainly for MacOS) or "off" for text-mode boot.
299 # Default is auto-detected from loader filename.
300 # options - sets options to be passed to the boot loader; use
301 # quotes if more than one option should be passed or
302 # if any options use characters that might be changed
303 # by rEFInd parsing procedures (=, /, #, or tab).
304 # disabled - use alone or set to "yes" to disable this entry.
305 #
306 # Note that you can use either DOS/Windows/EFI-style backslashes (\)
307 # or Unix-style forward slashes (/) as directory separators. Either
308 # way, all file references are on the ESP from which rEFInd was
309 # launched.
310 # Use of quotes around parameters causes them to be interpreted as
311 # one keyword, and for parsing of special characters (spaces, =, /,
312 # and #) to be disabled. This is useful mainly with the "options"
313 # keyword. Use of quotes around parameters that specify filenames is
314 # permissible, but you must then use backslashes instead of slashes,
315 # except when you must pass a forward slash to the loader, as when
316 # passing a root= option to a Linux kernel.
317
318 # Below are several sample boot stanzas. All are disabled by default.
