-  <title>External Bootloader Backends</title>
-  <para>
-    NixOS has support for several bootloader backends by default:
-    systemd-boot, grub, uboot, etc. The built-in bootloader backend
-    support is generic and supports most use cases. Some users may
-    prefer to create advanced workflows around managing the bootloader
-    and bootable entries.
-  </para>
-  <para>
-    You can replace the built-in bootloader support with your own
-    tooling using the <quote>external</quote> bootloader option.
-  </para>
-  <para>
-    Imagine you have created a new package called FooBoot. FooBoot
-    provides a program at
-    <literal>${pkgs.fooboot}/bin/fooboot-install</literal> which takes
-    the system closure’s path as its only argument and configures the
-    system’s bootloader.
-  </para>
-  <para>
-    You can enable FooBoot like this:
-  </para>
-  <programlisting language="nix">
-{ pkgs, ... }: {
-  boot.loader.external = {
-    enable = true;
-    installHook = &quot;${pkgs.fooboot}/bin/fooboot-install&quot;;
-  };
-}
-</programlisting>

-    <para>
-      Bootloaders should use
-      <link xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/125">RFC-0125</link>’s
-      Bootspec format and synthesis tools to identify the key properties
-      for bootable system generations.
