[bug#45225] [PATCH] gnu: grub: Fix unicode font loading when booting over TFTP.

Hi Ludo’!

Oh, that can be helpful. Thanks!

However, the unicode font is the only file referring from grub.cfg to the 
bootloader-profile inside the store and I’m meanwhile confident that this is 
not necessary at all, as the font is installed with all the other grub files in 
/boot/.

> BTW, I don’t see “bootloader-profile” in ‘master’; is it on a branch?

It’s in master in gnu/bootloader.scm, the function to use is 
efi-bootloader-profile. However, there’s still a patch pending.

I’m sorry for my nagging, but I’d really like to understand, why the grub 
package is not always visible in /gnu/store/ when building the grub.cfg file, 
although it is referred to by a file-append gexp.
