# Install Guide
## UEFI Installation
1. Boot from the BoredOS ISO.
2. Run `boredos_install --uefi /dev/sda`.
3. Type `y` when prompted and press Enter.
4. After completion, reboot and select the disk.
## limine.conf Notes
**UEFI** uses `boot():/boredos.elf` — the `boot():` URL scheme refers to the EFI System Partition.
**Root selection** uses `root=/dev/<partition>` in `cmdline:` to choose the writable root partition (for example `root=/dev/sda2`).
**Live vs disk override** supports `--live` and `--disk` in `cmdline:`. Use `--live` for ISO/USB live boots and `--disk` for installed systems.
