NAME


extlinux - install the SYSLINUX bootloader on a ext2/ext3/ext4/btrfs filesystem

SYNOPSIS


extlinux [options] directory

DESCRIPTION


EXTLINUX is a new syslinux derivative, which boots from a Linux ext2/ext3/ext4 or btrfs
filesystem. It works the same way as SYSLINUX, with a few slight modifications. It is
intended to simplify first-time installation of Linux, and for creation of rescue and
other special-purpose boot disks.

The installer is designed to be run on a mounted directory. For example, if you have an
ext2, ext3, ext4, or btrfs usb key mounted on /mnt, you can run the following command:

extlinux --install /mnt

OPTIONS


-H, --heads=#
Force the number of heads.

-i, --install
Install over the current bootsector.

-O, --clear-once

-o, --once=command

-M, --menu-save=label

-S, --sectors=#

-U, --update

--device=devicename
Override the automatic detection of device names. This option is intended for
special environments only and should not be used by normal users. Misuse of this
option can cause disk corruption and lost data.
