Briefly describe your issue below:
I installed ParrotOS Security, but when booting from my boot manager, rEFInd (grub doesnt install into the first EFI partition, when I install it), it drops me into a initramfs prompt
What version of Parrot are you running? (include version (e.g. 4.6), edition(e.g. Home//KDE/OVA, etc.), and architecture (currently we only support amd64)
Parrot-security-4.6_amd64
What method did you use to install Parrot? (Debian Standard / Debian GTK / parrot-experimental)
Debian Standard
Configured to multiboot with other systems? (yes / no)
Yes - Windows 10

No root device specified. Boot arguments must include a root= parameter
Sounds like you need a root=parameter somewhere in the boot configuration arguments or config file
How did you install rEFInd? Did you bother to check its documentation?
I originally installed rEFInd through Windows, using the documentation on their website. I used it as it auto detected most OS’s. Will take another look when I can (UTC +11 here)
Also, grub doesn’t install to the first partition, even if it says successful, would it be writing to the /boot partition automatically generated by Parrot (I select free space and select to automatically partition the space)?
My grub doesnt work it just boots right into parrot os. I dont know to get or fix the grub loader. Even in bios it doesnt show any of the other operating systems just windows. I am using a bootloader live usb inorder to boot into parrot or kali linux
