Awesome, thanks for reviewing and updating all the doc!

Some minor comments/suggestions:

> -@node GRUB Configuration
> -@subsection GRUB Configuration
> +@node Bootloader Configuration
> +@subsection Bootloader Configuration
>  
> -@cindex GRUB
> +@cindex Bootloader

Lowercase please.

> +The operating system supports multiple bootloaders. The bootloader is
> +configured using @code{bootloader-configuration} declaration. All the
> +fields of this structure are bootloader agnostic except for one field,
> +@code{bootloader} that indicates the bootloader to be configured and
> +installed.

Nitpick: please make sure to leave two spaces after an end-of-sentence
period.

s/to a submenu/to a submenu, allowing you to choose an older system
generation at boot time should you need it/

What happens with other bootloaders?  Do we get older boot entries?  It
might be worth mentioning.

What happens to the bootloader itself?  Does it change the bootloader to
the one that was chosen back then?

Thank you!
