It's not that hard to edit the /boot/refind_linux.conf file basing it on the wiki's example.
As for improvements to the wiki, everyone is free to propose changes in the talk pages.
]]>Yes I realize there was an example, I read the wiki. I just wanted to confirm that my .conf was correct.
Anyways, I figured it out, I should have run the refind-install script with the --root option since I was installing in a live environment. After running that command I was still running into an issue - the script was trying to create the .conf file in the /EFI/boot directory, which did not exist. After creating the directory and running the script again it properly detected my config and created a working .conf file.
For anyone who might be looking at this in the future and having the same issue, just remember to use the "--root /mountpoint" option when running refind install. /mountpoint is obviously wherever you mounted your EFI partition. In my case, /efi
Thanks!
instead of walls of useless text on archwiki, just wondering why it so snob..

]]>After checking the refind_linux.conf file, and like the warning would suggest, my parameters appear to be pointing to the ISO on my flash drive. What exactly do I need my config file to look like before I can boot properly? Looks like I need the PART-UUID for root and I'm assuming the rootfstype would be ext4? Can't really seem to find a concrete example of what I should be looking for. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: Found my UUID and modified my .conf, still getting a kernel panic on boot
unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0 0)
