Super Grub2 Disk
What it is
Super Grub2 Disk is a boot utility for operating systems that do not start through their normal boot process. Its Everything option searches for most operating systems, while Everything plus also checks special devices or filesystems. Manual boot choices include operating systems, GRUB2 and GRUB legacy configuration files, core.img, and bootable ISO files. Listed targets include Windows, GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, EFI files, and Mac OS X/Darwin. Extra GRUB2 functions cover LVM, RAID, PATA, encrypted LUKS and geli volumes, and serial terminals. It supports USB devices and CD-ROM boot media; floppy support is listed only for version 1.98s1. Downloads include USB and CD-ROM images, standalone EFI images, and source code. The stable download page lists version 2.06s4, dated July 30, 2024, and provides MD5, SHA1, and SHA256 checksums for release files. Its recommended multi-architecture USB image is described as Secure Boot enabled, while the classic USB image is Secure Boot non enabled. The interface can use Spanish, German, French, Italian, or Malay translations. Documentation and a forum are linked for usage questions.
