Subject: boot-parameters are not documented

[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

I'm running from GIT with HEAD on 12eecbf0bb798f99454a46c191bb0ec6bdef1aa5.

It seems that menu-entry is still described in documentation

doc/guix.texi:15337

but code seems to abandon the use already in favor of boot-parameters
at least to my level of understanding.

My question without answer is - how can I specify bootloader menu entries now?

TIA,

S_W

Yes I noticed this has confused some users, sorry for that :(.

I pushed the two commits.

Thanks,
