Hi Ludo,

No problem :)

I implemented most of this split between
bootloader-configuration/bootloader and it's waaay better !
I still have one small concern. In following patches, I added boot-type
(and boot-device) to parameters file. This allows to re-install the
correct bootloader (on the correct device) when using "guix system
switch-generation".
What field could we store in parameters to be able to restore the
correct bootloader ?
My initial idea was to add every <bootloader> to a list, a look it up by
name to restore the correct bootloader. So we could store the bootloader
name in the parameters file. This sounds a bit hack, do you have a
better idea ?
Thanks !
Mathieu
