ZFSBootMenu 2.0.0 introduces a major internal reorganization that allows images to be built with initramfs generators other than dracut and includes some helpful command-line utilities. This release is based on Linux 5.10.125 and ZFS 2.1.5.

New features

  • Dracut is now optional; ZFSBootMenu images may currently be built with mkinitcpio
  • Generalizations to support mkinitcpio should also apply to, e.g., initramfs-tools, although installation hooks for initramfs-tools have not (yet) been written
  • A new utility, zbm-efi-kcl, provides the ability to edit the kernel command-line embedded in a ZBM EFI bundle rather than requiring regeneration of the bundle
  • A new utility, zbm-builder.sh, provides a simple interface for creating custom, local images using the official ZBM build container; it is now possible to build local images without installing ZBM or its Perl dependencies

Fixes

  • Video drivers are now omitted from images by default to avoid GPU initialization issues in the final boot environment
  • General fixes to shell functions were made in support of using busybox in mkinitcpio images
  • The online command-line editor now provides an option to revert to the default
