Date: Fri, 1 May 2020 22:32:44 +0200
* gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (grub-efi-net-bootloader): New efi bootloader for
network booting via tftp/nfs and possibly images, prepared for chain loading.
(install-grub-efi-net): New bootloader installer for tftp and possibly images,
does not need root rights.
(grub-root-search): Adding support for tftp root.
(eye-candy): Enable gfxterm support for all systems.
* gnu/system.scm (read-boot-parameters): Prevent devices with ":/" from being
treated as a file system label.
