+bootx64.efi or bootaa64.efi into SUBDIR, which is usually efi/Guix or efi/boot,
+below the directory TARGET for the system whose root is mounted at MOUNT-POINT.
+
+MOUNT-POINT is the last argument in 'guix system init /etc/config.scm mnt/point'
+or '/' for other 'guix system' commands.
+
+TARGET is the target argument given to the bootloader-configuration in
+
+(operating-system
+ (bootloader (bootloader-configuration
+ (target \"/boot\")
+ …))
+ …)
+
+TARGET is required to be an absolute directory name, usually mounted via NFS,
+and finally needs to be provided by a TFTP server as the TFTP root directory.
+
+GRUB will load tftp://server/SUBDIR/grub.cfg and this file will instruct it to
+load more files from the store like tftp://server/gnu/store/…-linux…/Image.
+
+To make this possible two symlinks will be created. The first symlink points
+relatively form MOUNT-POINT/TARGET/SUBDIR/grub.cfg to
+MOUNT-POINT/boot/grub/grub.cfg, and the second symlink points relatively from
+MOUNT-POINT/TARGET/%store-prefix to MOUNT-POINT/%store-prefix.
+
+It is important to note that these symlinks need to be relativ, as the absolute
+paths on the TFTP server side are unknown.
+
+It is also important to note that both symlinks will point outside the TFTP root
+directory and that the TARGET/%store-prefix symlink makes the whole store
+accessible via TFTP. Possibly the TFTP server must be configured
+to allow accesses outside its TFTP root directory. This may need to be
+considered for security aspects."
