http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1165282 Bug ID: 1165282 Summary: Add browse option for selecting custom boot PBR Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.1 Hardware: i686 OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: smetz3@gmu.edu QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- When installing with a custom boot, the installer has an entry field for the device into whose PBR the installer will write the loader. It would be nice to have a browse button that presented a list of all known partitions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Do we know rough estimation of how many people use custom boot loader? Is more or less than e.g. 1 in 100? Would any of secondary arches benefit from this or somehow be impacted? ARM/U-boot etc.? That could drive the priority. Thank you -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Unless and until there is an option to write the loader into the PBR of the logical drive instead of into the PBR of the extended logical partition, they are likely to need custom boot. I'm sorry that I don't have the actual numbers. HTH. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Try to think out of the box, maybe a "list" is not as simple as a "tree" where you can choose from several options for a given disk/partition/...place. This could even be quite dynamic in a way how these items are offered to the user when getting deeper in the selection. Maybe a nice task for UI/UX cooperation? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
