we want to generate the GRUB menu without actually installing GRUB
(because Amazon supplies its own pv-grub), and each menu entry
requires "root (hd0)". For the first, allow boot.loader.grub.device
to be set to "nodev" to indicate that the GRUB menu should be
generated without installing GRUB. For the second, add an option
boot.loader.grub.extraPerEntryConfig to allow commands to be added
to each GRUB menu entry (in this case, "root (hd0)").

grub.cfg before the menu entries. (This could also be done using
`extraEntriesBeforeNixOS', but then you can't have entries *after*
the main entry anymore.)
* In the installer test, redirect GRUB output to the serial port.

partition from /. If so, copy the kernels and initrds to /boot and
use paths relative to /boot in the GRUB configuration file. This
makes the boot.loader.grub.bootDevice option obsolete. (Is there a
way to mark obsolete options?) It also makes it unnecessary to set
boot.loader.grub.copyKernels, although that option is still
available since it can speed up GRUB if the Nix store is very
large.

is not on the same partition as /boot (i.e. when
boot.loader.grub.bootDevice is set): just copy the background image
and the font to /boot.

* Renamed some of the new Grub options to more sensible names
(e.g. extraGrubEntries to extraEntries, bootMount to bootDevice,
etc.).
