Fellow Sculpters,
I'd like to install Sculpt in a multiboot setup in parallel to my Archlinux system. Do you have any recommendations/experiences w.r.t. where to put the grub files (esp. grub.cfg)? What's the best practice for maintainability/updateability in your opinion?
Cheers Johannes
After this upcoming release, I'd recommend using a dedicated Genode ext2 partition (which you can also use for Depot packages and other Sculpt files) with the grub files and image.elf.gz. Then use the "configfile" command in your main GRUB installation to chain-load the Sculpt grub.cfg file.

On Mon, 5 Nov 2018 08:17:19 -0700 The solution I came up with is to keep the original sculpt partitioning. I.e. the esp partition holds the grub.cfg with the configfile command pointing to the grub.cfg on the Genode partition. The configfile command can be used within a menuentry so that I moved the existing lines into a 'menuentry "Genode"'. I added another menuentry for my Archlinux installation as follows:
loadfont /boot/grub/fonts/unicode.pf2 menuentry "Archlinux" { set root=(hd0,gpt4) configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg } menuentry "Genode" { set root=(hd0,gpt3) [...] configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg }
Note, that you need to copy the grub modules to the esp partition as the root command does not affect the search path for modules.
Best regards Johannes
Hello,
I used to maintain a Sculpt/Kodi dual-boot and I simply kept a big ext2 partition on my laptop storage and managed the booting manually by inserting and removing a USB stick, with a bootloader for Kodi on the laptop and the standard Sculpt image on the USB stick.
At the moment I keep a single-boot system without any boot loader on my laptop, and only boot from USB. Of course its a bit slower than AHCI but I get some time back if I only configure a single boot device in firmware.
Cheers, Emery
