Description John 2025-09-18 14:02:49 UTC

Everything .iso installation script is edited to add 'inst.sdboot'

Installation proceeds to a successful install, but the bootloader installed is GRUB2.

The above process has been used successfully in previous versions ( 42,41,.. )


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot from F43 Beta Everything install .iso
2.edit install script kernel command line to include 'inst.sdboot'
3.exit edit with F10 and proceed with install as normal
Actual Results:
Bootloader installed is GRUB2

Expected Results:
Bootloader installed is systemd-boot

Comment 1 John 2025-09-18 14:13:36 UTC

The installation target disk is formatted with 2 partitions

/boot/efi as a 2GiB ESP partition
/(root) as EXT4 remainder of disk partition

a separate /boot EXT4 partition is not provided as the whole /(root) is EXT4.
This has worked successfully in previous releases.

Although this submission seems to have been completely ignored,
Bugzilla 2402975 has addressed the isuue.
