We're doing progress here. After a small fix the new system generation
got successfully activated. Rebooting has shown that grub can't find own
files and enters rescue mode. The culprit is that core.cfg contains
extra `/boot` in the prefix var.

Generated cfg:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
search.fs_uuid "6BA3-A04D" root
set "prefix=($root)/boot"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

How it probably should be:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
search.fs_uuid "6BA3-A04D" boot
set "prefix=($boot)"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Small fixes:
