Just installed Tumbleweed on a different system, and unfortunately forgot to check what boot system it was using…

Last time

I did this, it installed Grub-BLS, but apparently it doesn’t even do that these days, it uses systemd??

What I want is to be able to automatically reboot into the same system I booted last time, which used to be quite simple, but is it even possible, these days? Why is there ALWAYS a loss of functionality, when the systems are “automatically” changed?

Do I need to reinstall the system again, choosing to use Grub-efi? Is this the ONLY way to get the functionality back?

Thanks.

@hornetster Hi and welcome to the SUSE Forum 😃

You should be over at [https://forums.opensuse.org](https://forums.opensuse.org) 😉

The default in Tumbleweed is now systemd-boot, one must select the other options on install. Note that at some point grub2-efi will go away, so make sure when you install again that make the `/boot/efi` partition a suitable size for the likes of grub2-bls and systemd-boot I use 4GB, but suspect 2GB-4GB should be sufficient.

Yeah, sorry, been doing that a bit, lately!!

Will try and pay better attention…

Thanks.

But my enquiry (before I go!), is can systemd-boot be configured with things such as the option to reboot to the last booted OS??

Obviously there IS a cheat-sheet of sorts, somewhere?

Thanks.

@hornetster You mean for a dual/multi boot setup? I use systemd-boot, but not with any other operating system. I believe you just need to ensure the files reside on `/boot/efi` and should show on the systemd-boot menu…
