.Manually keeping a kernel bootable
Should you wish to add a certain kernel and initrd image to the list of
-bootable kernel use `pve-efiboot-tool kernel add`.
+bootable kernels use `pve-efiboot-tool kernel add`.
For example run the following to add the kernel with ABI version `5.0.15-1-pve`
to the list of kernels to keep installed and synced to all ESPs:
pve-efiboot-tool kernel remove 5.0.15-1-pve
----
+NOTE: It's required to run `pve-efiboot-tool refresh` to update all EFI System
+Partitions (ESPs) after a manual kernel addition or removal from above.

.Setting up a new partition for use as synced ESP
.Updating the configuration on all ESPs
To copy and configure all bootable kernels and keep all ESPs listed in
-`/etc/kernel/pve-efiboot-uuids` in sync you just need to run `pve-efiboot-tool
-refresh`.
-(The equivalent to running `update-grub` on Systems being booted with `grub`).

+(The equivalent to running `update-grub` on systems being booted with `grub`).
This is necessary should you make changes to the kernel commandline, or want to
-sync all kernels and initrds after regenerating the latter.
+sync all kernels and initrds.
+
+NOTE: Both `update-initramfs` and `apt` (when necessary) will automatically
+trigger a refresh.

Editing the kernel commandline
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can modify the kernel commandline in the following places, depending on the
-bootloarder used:
+bootloader used:
.Grub
.Systemd-boot
-The kernel commandline needs to be placed as line in `/etc/kernel/cmdline`
-Running `/etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-pve-efiboot` sets it as `option` line for
-all config files in `loader/entries/proxmox-*.conf`.
+The kernel commandline needs to be placed as one line in `/etc/kernel/cmdline`.
+To apply your changes, run `pve-efiboot-tool refresh`, which sets it as the
+`option` line for all config files in `loader/entries/proxmox-*.conf`.
