How to do step 3

In step 2, the wiki says _esp_/EFI directory will be created…. But I don’t see it in my installation

There’s the command given after that, make sure to replace the arguments

prasannarajaram 2022-09-04 20:20:59
I ran the command with my mount point, no error
broken_vortex 2022-09-04 20:22:38
yes

I changed the/etc/default/grub file. I commented the line for os-prober

prasannarajaram 2022-09-04 20:38:32
Ran grub-mkconfig too
prasannarajaram 2022-09-04 20:38:56
Is there a way to verify if windows has been detected

rebooting into grub is a surefire way

C0rn3j 2022-09-04 20:39:34
Pretty sure mkconfig should tell you about it however.
Did you mount its ESP?

Yes. My efi partition is mounted under /mnt/boot

prasannarajaram 2022-09-04 20:41:58
I did cat on my grub.cfg…. I don’t see windows there

Windows’ though

prasannarajaram 2022-09-04 20:42:35
But there is something about UEFI, that I don’t understand. Will it load windows?

Did you use the default windows 10 100mb ESP for /boot ?

Yes, it was 260mb

Yes, it was 260mb

Good, but imo i’d start again and use a separate ESP

Ya, but what exactly you mean when you say
start again

Yes, it was 260mb

how did you verify that was the ESP and not a recovery partition?
