So, that's a lot of stuff. Check out what you need. Greets, RAM. It would be great to boot Android without messing with Windows partitions and primary hard drive.
Would it be possible to set up booting Android from external USB hard drive? I'm not sure if it's possible at all. MBR is still the most compatible mode. The partition system is not the best, and Windows isn't even able to create logical partitions in the extended partition, you have to use a tool like GParted for this. But it is possible. My experiences with MBR bootblocks aren't bad, although I'm used much better ones.
It was already available in and is probably more advanced than GUID, except that it was originally only designed for harddisks up to 4 GB. These are the possibilites: - Max size 4 GB, more with a patch. I'm using 40 GB without problems. Not bad for a partition block that was already available in So if no floppy disk was inserted, the next lower boot prioity was booted.
Since AmigaOS 2. It's also possible to boot without startup-sequence, so you simply get a AmigaDOS shell after booting. That's ideal for error checking. The other great function that every partition can have a different, fixed partition name. On all Amiga-based operating systems a partition always uses the fixed name defined in the RDB. Because the Amiga has fixed partition names, it could be problematic if you add another harddisk with a partition DH0: But AmigaOS has a solution for this: It will be renamed temporary to DH0.
The number is used depending on the position the device is connected. Typically was SCSI used, which allows 7 devices, unit numbers , unit 7 is the controller.
If you have your normal hard drive connected on scsi unit 0, it is DH0: If you are connecting a second drive to scsi unit 1, it will be renamed to DH0. If you add another card which has a contoller with the name scsi. Amazing for an more than 25 year old operating system which would be called '2 MB shared memory' today Integration into GRUB2 bootloader.
Modifying grub. The files must be executable to be picked up when grub updates, i. To disable a file, simply chmod -x that file. This speeds up the update process. These are what mine look like:. Simply type the menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change the 'exec tail' line above. That way, I can edit the menu without having to run grub-update, or lose my menu's when my package manager runs grub-update. This allows you to reboot into Android without waiting for the grub menu to appear.
Here is an example script I use to reboot into Android, needs updated for systemd. Restart sudo reboot And to help that, the following sudo file.
Not true, This was a guidline when RAM was expensive. Nowadays, swap mostly just slows your computer down, just like I'd slow down if I used a walker. The one exception I have to this is video editing or other tasks that need a lot of RAM.
Swap's only purpose is stability, and I like stability, but not if it's going to slow me down for no reason. I only said that it's standard, not if it's useful or neccessary. The topic is the possible use of a swap partition, not disabling the swapfile. You currently have javascript disabled. Several functions may not work.

It even lets you load Windows in ways that the BCD bootloader makes quite impossible! NeoGrub has infinite number of possible usages — the sky truly is the limit thanks to the scriptable boot process and chainloading support. However, here are a couple of really cool things NeoGrub is often used for:.
As of EasyBCD 1. The hard part is scripting NeoGrub to do what you need it to…. This is where we do all our hacking to make operating systems work, drives disappear, and the magic happen.
