I can't believe I'm suggesting this (we've come full circle now) but we could add a new bootloader in gnu/bootloader/grub.scm,
(define* grub-hybrid-bootloader ; or grub-mkrescue-bootloader, maybe less misleading.
(bootloader
(inherit grub-efi-bootloader)
(configuration-file-generator grub-configuration-file-without-search-emission) ; this here could parametrize grub-configuration-file somehow or maybe we could refactor grub-configuration-file instead.
; Note: name is still 'grub-efi, so the public boot parameters API doesn't change.
(package grub-hybrid))) ; probably; or grub-efi if you just want a quick test with EFI only.
... and use it in iso9660-image or gnu/system/install.scm .
