A Quick Doc article describes the procedure:

We, the Fedora Docs team, are in the process to review and improve the Quick Docs articles. We are (unfortunately) not omniscient IT gods but need support from Fedora community.
According to some comments (https://pagure.io/fedora-docs/quick-docs/issue/524) the article misses at least some information:
- the second part about using live CD doesn’t describe Workstation and BTRFS
I'm not sure why that wouldn't work for Workstation (or any standard install of a linux os) as long as the volume isn't encrypted. It doesn't even have to be a Fedora live image (probably about time to replace "CD" with "Image"), I could do the same (and used to) with System Rescue CD.
- for which Fedora variant do the instructions apply? Server for sure, Workstation? CoreOS? Silverblue? Kinoite? all spins?
I can't speak to Silverblue...
- what else is missing, misleading, or misunderstandable?
Looks pretty straight forward but I do which Fedora provided a helper script to mount the filesystems. I always have to look up what's supposed to be a "bind" mount or something else once I have /boot and / mounted.
Thanks,
Richard
