Install Guide

UEFI Installation

  1. Boot from the BoredOS ISO.
  2. Run boredos_install --uefi /dev/sda.
  3. Type y when prompted and press Enter.
  4. After completion, reboot and select the disk.

limine.conf Notes

UEFI uses boot():/boredos.elf — the boot(): URL scheme refers to the EFI System Partition.

Root selection uses root=/dev/<partition> in cmdline: to choose the writable root partition (for example root=/dev/sda2).

Live vs disk override supports --live and --disk in cmdline:. Use --live for ISO/USB live boots and --disk for installed systems.
