Description-en: GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (EFI-AMD64 modules)
GRUB is a portable, powerful bootloader. This version of GRUB is based on a
cleaner design than its predecessors, and provides the following new features:
.
- Scripting in grub.cfg using BASH-like syntax.
- Support for modern partition maps such as GPT.
- Modular generation of grub.cfg via update-grub. Packages providing GRUB
add-ons can plug in their own script rules and trigger updates by invoking
update-grub.
.
This package contains GRUB modules that have been built for use with the
EFI-AMD64 architecture, as used by Intel Macs (unless a BIOS interface has
been activated). It can be installed in parallel with other flavours, but
will not automatically install GRUB as the active boot loader nor
automatically update grub.cfg on upgrade unless grub-efi-amd64 is also
installed.
