| 374 | On UEFI based systems, GRUB works by installing an EFI application
|

[d5cc78a] | 375 | (a special kind of executable) into
|
---|
[756a787] | 376 | <filename class="directory">/boot/efi/EFI/[id]/grubx64.efi</filename>,
|
---|
| 377 | where <filename class="directory">/boot/efi</filename> is the mount
|
---|
| 378 | point of the ESP, and <literal>[id]</literal> is replaced with an
|
---|
| 379 | identifier specified in the <command>grub-install</command> command
|
---|
[d5cc78a] | 380 | line. GRUB will create an entry in the EFI variables containing
|
---|
| 381 | the path <literal>EFI/[id]/grubx64.efi</literal> so the EFI firmware
|
---|
[756a787] | 382 | can find <filename>grubx64.efi</filename> and load it.

| 386 | <filename>grubx64.efi</filename> is very lightweight (136 KB with
|
---|
[16f7f0e] | 387 | GRUB-2.06) so it will not use much space in the ESP. A typical ESP

[d5cc78a] | 388 | size is 100 MB (for Windows boot manager, which uses about 50 MB in
|
---|
[c8391c3d] | 389 | the ESP). Once <filename>grubx64.efi</filename> has been loaded by the
