<span id="Making-your-system-bootable-1"></span><h3 class="section">1.5 Making your system bootable</h3>

<p>In order to be able to boot your fresh system, wou will need an init-daemon,
init-scripts and a bootloader. The init daemon is already provided by busybox,
but you can optionally change it.
</p>
<span id="Installing-a-bootloader"></span><h4 class="subsection">1.5.1 Installing a bootloader</h4>

<p>In the main repository, there is efibootmgr and grub to serve as bootloaders.
efibootmgr can be used as a standalone bootloader, or can be used to install
grub in a UEFI environment. efibootmgr is needed unless you are using a device
without UEFI support (or you really want to use BIOS for a reason).
</p>
<p>GRUB BIOS installation
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">$ cpt b grub &amp;&amp; cpt i grub
$ grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sdX
$ grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
</pre></div>

<p>GRUB UEFI installation
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">$ cpt b efibootmgr &amp;&amp; cpt i efibootmgr
$ cpt b grub &amp;&amp; cpt i grub

$ grub-install --target=x86_64-efi \
               --efi-directory=esp \
               --bootloader-id=CarbsLinux

$ grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
</pre></div>

<span id="Installing-init-scripts"></span><h4 class="subsection">1.5.2 Installing init scripts</h4>

<p>Only thing left to do is installing the init-scripts, and now you are almost
ready to boot your system!
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">$ cpt b carbs-init &amp;&amp; cpt i carbs-init
</pre></div>

<span id="Generating-fstab"></span><h4 class="subsection">1.5.3 Generating fstab</h4>

<p>You can now manually edit your fstab entry, or you can use the genfstab tool.
If you want to use the tool, exit the chroot and run the following:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">$ wget https://github.com/cemkeylan/genfstab/raw/master/genfstab
$ chmod +x genfstab
$ ./genfstab -U /mnt &gt;&gt; /mnt/etc/fstab
</pre></div>
