 This is the platform-specific boot partition, usually FAT32 but can depend on the device. This partition can be read and edited by most other operating systems should you plug the drive into another machine. The most common file that might need to be edited is the ''batocera-boot.conf'' file, but others too might be required to be changed depending on what you're doing.

 Be careful; changing these files can affect Batocera's ability to boot, so always make backups of these files before changing them.

 This is the equivalent of looking into the ''/boot'' folder in Batocera while Batocera is running.

+The ''batocera-boot.conf'' file uses the same [[:batocera_conf_syntax|syntax]] as the batocera.conf file, however different keys are available.
+The default ''batocera-boot.conf'' can be found [[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/batocera-linux/batocera.linux/master/package/batocera/core/batocera-system/batocera-boot.conf|here on the Github]]. Right click and "Save Link As...", making sure the name is ''batocera-boot.conf''.

 This will make the ''/boot'' partition writable until next boot. No need to do anything to change it back, as Batocera will default to mounting it as read-only on next boot.

 This is not required if you are intending to edit files in the Batocera virtual filesystem. Refer to the [[:modify_the_system_while_it_s_running|overlays page]] for info on that. Note that almost all configuration can be done within Batocera or ''batocera.conf'' and editing overlays should not be required in most cases.
