BOOTLOADER_ENTRY(8)          System Administration         BOOTLOADER_ENTRY(8)

NAME
       bootloader_entry - add or remove kernel/initrd pair to boot loader
       configuration.

SYNOPSIS
       bootloader_entry [COMMAND] FLAVOR VERSION KERNEL INITRD

DESCRIPTION
       bootloader_entry adds or removes a kernel/initrd pair to the boot
       loader configuration.

       Note that the FLAVOR argument is there for interface compatibility
       reasons and not actually used.

       bootloader_entry is just a symlink to pbl. The add and remove options
       will be translated to pbl --add-kernel and pbl --remove-kernel,
       respectively.

       bootloader_entry is not intended to called manually. It is a preserved
       interface to the boot loader configuration that is used in the
       post-install section of the Linux kernel package.

COMMANDS
       add
           Add kernel/initrd to boot config.

       remove
           Remove kernel/initrd from boot config.

FILES
       /etc/sysconfig/bootloader
           General boot loader related configuration settings.

       /var/log/pbl.log
           Default log file.

       /usr/etc/logrotate.d/pbl
           Logrotate rules for /var/log/pbl.log.

       /usr/lib/bootloader
           Directory with specific config scripts for each supported boot
           loader.

EXAMPLES
           # add new kernel/initrd
           bootloader_entry add default 6.2.8-1-default vmlinuz-6.2.8-1-default initrd-6.2.8-1-default

           # remove kernel/initrd
