Subject: bug#26339: [PATCH 04/18] bootloader: Add install procedures and use them.

> Is that safe? Will there only be one bootloader configuration at all times? What if the user uses multiple "guix system"s on the same machine?

Well you can have only one bootloader in MBR at a time, so even if you
have multiple system generations with various bootloaders, only one is
installed. But I might be wrong here ...

Yes you're right, no need to export dd.

#:bootloader-installer seems fine, I'll update.

Ok for bootloader-configuration-installer then.
