Hey all,
I’ve installed 9.3 to a USB hard drive, with the intention of making it a fully portable and bootable OS. I booted into my laptop (running Pop_OS) with a live USB stick, and then installed 9.3 to the Portable Drive. That seems to be working - I can boot into the Drive (I’m there right now, running Alma), but it’s not portable - I get something that looks like grub (a couple options with variations of Alma**), but it hangs after I select the OS and before I can log in.
I’ve read that I need to do something like grub-install --removeable, but two issues with that:
- Doesn’t seem like grub got installed? When I’m in Alma and do “grub”, “grub-install” I get “command not found”. Sudo doesn’t help…although there IS a /boot/grub/grub.cfg…
- It seems like the grub-install --removeable is to make sure BOOTX64 gets installed to the EFI, but I’ve already got that:
ls
BOOTX64.EFI fbx64.efi
pwd
/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT
Anyone have any advice - how can I make this drive bootable on other systems?
