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
