Hi,
Karl Hallsby <karl@hallsby.com> skribis:

Interesting. The patch LGTM; one last thing: could you add a couple of
lines in doc/guix.texi, under “Bootloader Configuration” (next to where
‘grub-efi-netboot-bootloader’ is described) describing
‘grub-efi-removable-bootloader’?
With that in place, we should be all set.
Thanks in advance,
Ludo’.
