Subject: bug#27007: boot-parameters are not documented

Hi Tomáš,
> My question without answer is - how can I specify bootloader menu entries now?
You're right, you have to pass a <boot-parameters> now. The
documentation patch is still in review, you can find it here :
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=26339#489
The example has been updated :
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
@example
-(menu-entry
+(boot-parameters
(label "The Other Distro")
- (linux "/boot/old/vmlinux-2.6.32")
- (linux-arguments '("root=/dev/sda2"))
+ (root-device "my-root")
+ (boot-name 'grub)
+ (store-device "my-root")
+ (store-mount-point "/")
+ (kernel "/boot/old/vmlinux-2.6.32")
+ (kernel-arguments '("root=/dev/sda2"))
(initrd "/boot/old/initrd"))
@end example
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
It will maybe change again in the future, I'm not sure <boot-parameters>
are our best option here.
Anyway, let me now if it works for you.
Thanks,
Mathieu
