<p>Other things you might want to configure are:</p>
<p> - /etc/doas.conf</p>
<p> - /etc/inittab</p>
<h2>Configure the bootloader</h2>
<p>Our system needs one more component before it can be booted into: the bootloader</p>
<p>For busybox init users, GRUB is the recommended bootloader.</p>
<p>For systemd users, systemd-boot is the recommended bootloader.</p>
<p><strong>GRUB</strong></p>
<p>Install the GRUB package:</p>
<p><i>Note: GRUB is split into 2 packages, grub-bios and grub-uefi.</i></p>
<p><i>Ensure you install the correct package.</i></p>
<p><code><mark>(chroot)# glacier -f grub-{bios,uefi}</mark></code></p>
<p>Install GRUB:</p>
<p><code><mark>(chroot)# grub-install /dev/sdX # for BIOS</mark></code></p>
<p><code><mark>(chroot)# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=grub # for UEFI</mark></code></p>
<p>Create a GRUB configuration file:</p>
<p><code><mark>(chroot)# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg</mark></code></p>
<p><strong>systemd-boot</strong></p>
<p><i>Note: systemd-boot only supports UEFI.</i></p>
<p><i>Use GRUB if your system is incompatible with UEFI.</i></p>
<p>Systemd-boot is included with systemd.</p>
<p>Install systemd-boot:</p>
<p><code><mark>(chroot)# bootctl install</mark></code></p>
<p>Edit /boot/loader/loader.conf and create a boot entry at /boot/loader/entries/everest.conf</p>
<h2>Finishing the Installation</h2>
<p>Every component of the system has been configured, and we can now boot into it.</p>
<p>Exit the chroot environment:</p>
<p><code><mark>(chroot)# exit</mark></code></p>
<p>Unmount all partitions from /mnt/everest:</p>
<p><code><mark>(root)# umount -R /mnt/everest</mark></code></p>
<p>Power off the system:</p>
<p><code><mark>(root)# poweroff</mark></code></p>
<p>Ensure you remove the installation media or you will not boot into the new system.</p>
<h2>Post-installation</h2>
<p>A base Everest system is pretty minimal. Most users will need to configure extra components,</p>
<p>such as a window manager, sound, or networking.</p>
