Booting android-x86 using systemd-boot/gummy-boot?

[Arun G]

I use systemd-boot to boot my Linux installation. I have installed android on another partition. I don't like having two loaders on my efi partition. Is there any way to boot android-x86 without loading grub?

Of course you can boot android-x86 with any bootloader
which can load Linux kernel and ramdisk(initrd.img).

I found the way to boot it with systemd-boot.

Copy kernel and initrd.img to EFI partition and create new entry for android-x86.

 /loader/entries/android.conf                                                          

title   Android-x86
linux   /kernel
initrd  /initrd.img
options root=PARTUUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx root=/dev/ram0 rw SRC=/android-xxxx rootfstype=xxxx  androidboot.hardware=android_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet

change partuuid=, rootfstype= and SRC=.
