Ah… Thank you for clarifying.

  (bootloader (grub-configuration (grub grub-efi)
                                  (device "/dev/sda")))

I just tried and this fails too with the same error. I’m not sure why
it does not match the syntax rule for grub-configuration.

This macro seems complicated and unintuitive. I don’t like how a
syntax rule feigns being a record definition but isn’t and therefore
breaks things… Why not just inherit bootloader-configuration?

Regards,
Florian
