I've taken closer look at *grub.cfg-01-MAC *and I believe it doesn't generate properly. It contains only: Chainload Grub2 EFI from ESP, Chainload into BIOS bootloader on first disk, Foreman Discovery Image Which I believe is not enough, I see that my host's menuentry lies in: *pxelinux.cfg/01-MAC* file How does this file relate to grub.cfg? Shouldn't this entry land in grub.cfg-01-MAC?
