This video is based on RHEL 8. Video to cover the section ‘Modify the system bootloader’ for the RHCSA (Red Hat Certified System Administrator).

Notes from the video:

As part of the exam you will be only asked to make a minor modification of the grub configuration.

To list the environment options for modification for grub:

# grub2-editenv list

A good example would be to set the current kernel as the default for boot:

# grub2-set-default 0

To view and modify the entire grub configuration for your system:

# vi /etc/default/grub

A simple variable you can modify to test is the GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=countdown

You can simply add a new line in the file and add that entry, this will change the GRUB screen to only show a simple countdown rather than the full bootscreen.

To then apply the configuration:

# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
