Today I will cover Stage 2: GRUB and GRUB2. I will cover what they are, the differences, and demonstrate where boot files are on Ubuntu and CentOS.
GRUB: Grand Unified Bootloader
GRUB: the way a computer transitions from BIOS or UEFI boot up conditions to the OS
GRUB:
Older and limited
Hard to modify the configuration files - /etc/default
Display boot menu at startup
Boot files: menu.lst or grub.conf
GRUB2:
Newer and most used
More customizable config files - /etc/default
Hidden boot menu at startup
More boot methods: ISO, USB, UUID, etc
Boot files: grub.cfg
Ubuntu Commands:
Boot folder: cd /boot/grub
GRUB Config file: cat /etc/default/grub
Make changes: sudo update-grub
CentOS
boot folder: cd /boot
GRUB Config File: cd /etc/default
Exit Vi: :q!
