Why do you need to do a chainloader? You could just boot into PureOS right?

I'm attaching my config file, but my basic configuration to boot
straight from a different partition is:
(bootloader (bootloader-configuration
(bootloader grub-bootloader)
(menu-entries
(list (menu-entry
;; specify that I want to boot Parabola as well.
(label "Parabola")
(linux "(hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz-linux-libre")
(linux-arguments '("root=/dev/sda1 ro"))
(initrd "(hd0,1)/boot/initramfs-linux-libre.img"))))
(target "/dev/sda")))
