| The easiest way is to add a new drive just for OpenElec and install OpenElec to it with the installer. But if you want to SHARE ONE DRIVE with other boots, DO NOT DO THAT :-) Do this instead:
* On an existing refind-booted system, set up two new ext4 partitions
** one about 2GB in size, labeled [SYSTEM], and marked as bootable
** the other with 10GB or more, labeled [STORAGE]
** [http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php/Manual_Installation prep the drives] (no journal, ssd trim)
* download openelec and mount; there are a couple ways:
** get the img and install to a thumb
** get the img and mount (see below)
* Set up OE drives to mount in other OSes to /openelec-system and /openelec-storage
/dev/disk/by-label/SYSTEM /openelec-system ext4 noatime 0 0
/dev/disk/by-label/STORAGE /openelec-storage ext4 noatime 0 0
* copy target/KERNEL and target/SYSTEM to SYSTEM
cp OpenELEC_img/target/KERNEL /openelec-system/
cp OpenELEC_img/target/SYSTEM /openelec-system/
* set up UEFI boot
** subl /boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf (and add this block)
# MDM Trying this, from: http://openelec.tv/forum/64-installation/70783-how-to-efi-booting-openelec-on-new-pc-s-nuc-s
# Only I had to change BOOT to SYSTEM. and quiet to debugging.
menuentry OpenELEC {
icon EFI/refind/icons/os_openelec.png
volume SYSTEM
ostype Linux
loader KERNEL
# options "boot=LABEL=SYSTEM disk=LABEL=STORAGE debugging"
options "boot=LABEL=SYSTEM disk=LABEL=STORAGE quiet"
}
* I THINK you need one or more of these too, not sure!
cp target/boot/bootx64.efi /openelec-system/BOOT
cp target/boot/bootx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/
cp target/boot/bootx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/
|}
{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable"
! OpenELEC boot from thumb
|-
| NOTE: I have the image already on a white stick with red lettering... anyway...
* Get the latest dev version (stable didn't work for me although this may change)
* [http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php/HOW-TO:Installing_OpenELEC/Creating_The_Install_Key dd it onto a thumb]
* reboot and select to boot to the thumb in BIOS
* when the boot: line comes up, type "live" to get run a live Kodi rather than run the crufty old installer
