Hi Karl,

Karl Hallsby <karl <at> hallsby.com> skribis:

> +@vindex grub-efi-removable-bootloader
> +@code{grub-efi-removable-bootloader} allows you to boot your system from
> +removable media by writing the GRUB file to the UEFI-specification location of
> +@file{/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi} of the boot directory, usually @file{/boot/efi}.
> +This is also useful for some UEFI firmwares that ``forget'' their configuration
> +from their non-volatile storage. Like @code{grub-efi-bootloader}, this can only
> +be used if the @file{/sys/firmware/efi} directory is available.

I merged the two patches, added a ChangeLog-style commit log¹, and
committed.

Thank you!
