I am very happy with manually setting up my boot programs. On UEFI syste= ms I don=E2=80=99t use a standalone bootloader at all, because I think it= is so unnecessary, and rely on Linux =E2=80=98EFI stub=E2=80=99 function= ality. I don=E2=80=99t ever want any automatic scripts to intervene. For a couple of years I have used this: (bootloader (grub-configuration (target "/dev/null"))) It works, but produces an ugly error during configuration. I believe the field should actually be made optional.
