Hello. On a problem system, I have "GNU GRUB version 2.02~beta2" as shown in the command line window.
The system is a UEFI/GPT system. Three or four operating systems are apparently more or less installed on the system, and the installation attempt of the last operating system, broke everything. I have found that I am able, at the GRUB command line, to run ls, which returns a list of the partiitions (hd0,gpt<x for x= 1 to 13>). I can also run ls (hd0,gpt<x>), which returns a description of the partition filesystem. I can also run ls (hd0,gpt<x>)/ , which lists the top level contents of the partition. Now, my query is this; with the command set that is available at that level, can I mount a USB thumb drive (eg, mount <device descriptor> <mount device name> (I do not know whether that would the the order of the syntactical components, or, what would be the correct syntax), and, direct a copy of each command and return output, to a file on the USB drive, eg, where I have " grub> ls (hd0,gpt1) error: unknown filesystem " that could be directed to a file, whch would then contain " ls (hd0,gpt1) error: unknown filesystem " and thence, for each command, to either append it to a single file, so that the file would be of the nature " ls (hd0,gpt1)/ error: unknown filesystem ls (hd0,gpt2)/ efi/ ls (hd0,gpt2)/efi/ Microsoft/ Boot/ oem/ .... " like using something like ls (hd0,gpt1)/ > <mountpoint>/ls_info.txt ls (hd0,gpt2)/ >> <mountpoint>/ls_info.txt ls (hd0,gpt2)/efi/ >> <mountpoint>/ls_info.txt which would be preferred, or, if that is not available, to direct the command input and the return output for each command, to separate files? If this can be done, how would I do it (commands, including syntax of commands)? Thank you in anticipation. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
