What am I missing?
Right. I'd like to use the ESP type code for the merged ESP+XBOOTLDR so
that the firmware will pick it up properly. The only problem is when using
the bootctl command to initialize that partition (/boot), it requires that
I set the SYSTEMD_RELAX_XBOOTLDR_CHECKS variable. I don't think it should
require setting that environment variable in that case. But maybe I'm using
the command incorrectly? The command I'm running is:
SYSTEMD_RELAX_XBOOTLDR_CHECKS=1 bootctl install --boot-path=/boot
--esp-path=/boot
I think you have to set both "--boot-path" and "--esp-path" to the
same
value to get the merged partition. If I leave off "--boot-path", then I
don't have to set the variable. But I'm not sure that it will configure
everything correctly in that case. Will it?
