Xbian BOOTMENU - Jules Huls - 16th Jun, 2015 01:39 AM

Hi,

I've been looking into ways to have a boot menu pop up and ask me which OS (on which partition) needs to be booted up. I've looked in Bootberry for this but it seems to be a hassle to get it working with Xbian.

When Googling I also came across the "bootmenu" feature on Xbian that would pop up a boot menu. But there seems to be no documentation or mentioning of this feauture anywhere.

Does it work? And can you only select a btrfs snapshot to boot up or can you also switch between OS's, say Xbian on /dev/sda1 and RetroPoe on /dev/sda2?

I need something like GRUB to simply switch between 2 OS's on the same HDD.

XBian now has a NOOBs installer. Maybe this will suit you purpose?
