Hello,

Well it's still moving :)
We can ask him but I guess something like that :
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(boot-parameters
(label "openSUSE")
(root-device #f)
(boot-name 'grub)
(store-device #f)
(store-mount-point "/")
(kernel "(hd0,msdos1)/vmlinuz")
(kernel-arguments (list "root=/dev/penguin/opensuse"
"init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd"))
(initrd "(hd0,msdos1)/initrd"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Note that root-device, boot-name, store-device and store-mount-point are
useless here.

Ok.

We can suppose that it's always possible to add custom entries to
generated bootloader configuration. That would allow someone switching
from grub to extlinux to keep his custom entries.

Ok !
Thanks,
