We take a different approach than RHEL by putting all BLS config, along with the kernel and initrd, in the EFI partition (/boot/efi) instead of /boot. Also, grub.cfg is not used at all. It is basically the same layout you would have with systemd-boot, just a different loader can be an option.
So SLES powerpc will boot with something else than grub? Or will powerpc also get an ESP?
The company behind POWER does not want to support BLS, so everything stays the same. And since there is currently no technical need for BLS on POWER, this is not a problem. Interesting is that RedHat as part of this company seems to introduce BLS on this architecture...
This seems strangely false, since IBM introduced BLS support to zipl years ago. On Red Hat/Fedora systems, BLS is used with GRUB, petitboot, and zipl. Petitboot knows how to handle BLS with GRUB on POWER just fine. We even introduced support for these bootloaders using BLS with kiwi. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!
