bootloader: Add 'disk-image-installer'....* gnu/bootloader.scm (<bootloader>)[disk-image-installer]: New field, (bootloader-disk-image-installer): export it. * gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (install-grub-disk-image): New procedure ... (grub-bootloader): ... used as "disk-image-installer" here. (grub-efi-bootloader): set "disk-image-installer" to #f. * gnu/system/image.scm (root-partition?, find-root-partition): Move to "Helpers" section. (root-partition-index): New procedure. (system-disk-image): Honor disk-image-installer, and use it to install the bootloader directly on the disk-image, if supported. Mathieu Othacehe 2019-08-30system: Add 'bootloader-menu-entries' field to <boot-parameters>....This allows us to keep track of the extra menu entries specified in the OS configuration. * gnu/system.scm (<boot-parameters>)[bootloader-menu-entries]: New field. (read-boot-parameters): Initialize it. (operating-system-boot-parameters): Likewise. (operating-system-boot-parameters-file): Serialize it. * gnu/bootloader.scm (menu-entry->sexp, sexp->menu-entry): New procedures. Ludovic Courtès 2019-08-30bootloader: Fix comment about 'menu-entries'....* gnu/bootloader.scm (<bootloader-configuration>)[menu-entries]: Fix margin comment. Ludovic Courtès 2019-03-24bootloader: Add a 'keyboard-layout' field....* gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (keyboard-layout-file): New procedure. (grub-configuration-file)[keyboard-layout-file]: New variable. [builder]: Use it. * gnu/bootloader.scm (<bootloader-configuration>)[keyboard-layout]: New field. * doc/guix.texi (Bootloader Configuration): Document it. Co-authored-by: nee <nee-git@hidamari.blue> Ludovic Courtès 2019-03-24bootloader: Reindent record type definition....* gnu/bootloader.scm (<bootloader-configuration>): Reindent. Ludovic Courtès 2019-03-24bootloader: Remove unused 'additional-configuration' field....* gnu/bootloader.scm (<bootloader-configuration>)[additional-configuration]: Remove. Ludovic Courtès 2019-01-16bootloader: Remove deprecated 'device' field....The 'device' field had been deprecated in commit 045ebb3e58d74c75f39ce47380045d3cd00359c3 (August 2017). * gnu/bootloader.scm (<bootloader-configuration>)[device]: Remove. [target]: Change getter to 'bootstrap-configuration-target'. (bootstrap-configuration-target): Remove. Ludovic Courtès 2018-04-08discovery: Remove dependency on (guix ui)....This reduces the closure of (guix discovery) from 28 to 8 modules. * guix/discovery.scm (scheme-files): Use 'format' instead of 'warning'. (scheme-modules): Add #:warn parameter. Use it instead of 'warn-about-load-error'. (fold-modules): Add #:warn and pass it to 'scheme-modules'. (all-modules): Likewise. * gnu/bootloader.scm (bootloader-modules): Pass #:warn to 'all-modules'. * gnu/packages.scm (fold-packages): Likewise. * gnu/services.scm (all-service-modules): Likewise. * guix/upstream.scm (importer-modules): Likewise.

Ludovic Courtès 2017-08-23gnu: bootloader: Deprecate "device" field in favor of "target"....* gnu/bootloader.scm (<bootloader-configuration>): Deprecate "device" field in favor of "target" field. This is mostly a renaming but also a generalization to support UEFI targets being paths to a mounted partition instead of a device name. * gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl: * gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl: * gnu/system/examples/lightweight-desktop.tmpl: * gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl: * gnu/system/install.scm: * gnu/tests.scm: * gnu/tests/install.scm: * gnu/tests/nfs.scm: * tests/system.scm: Adapt all invocations of bootloader-configuration. * guix/scripts/system.scm (perform-action): Rename device argument to bootloader-target. (process-action): Adapt caller. * doc/guix.texi (Proceeding with the Installation): * doc/guix.texi (Bootloader Configuration): Update documentation. Andy Wingo 2017-07-28bootloader: Use <menu-entry> for the bootloader side....* gnu/bootloader.scm (menu-entry-device-mount-point): New variable. Export it. (<menu-entry>: New field "device". * gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (grub-confgiuration-file): Handle <menu-entry> entries. * gnu/bootloader/extlinux.scm (extlinux-configuration-file): Handle <menu-entry> entries. * gnu/system.scm (menu->entry->boot-parameters): Delete variable. (boot-parameters->menu-entry): New variable. Export it. (operating-system-bootcfg): Make OLD-ENTRIES a list of <menu-entry>. * guix/script/system.scm (reinstall-bootloader): Fix bootcfg usage. (perform-action): Fix bootcfg usage. Danny Milosavljevic
