This was much needed, thank you!

I don't know if its also worth mentioning a "scripted tool" for this procedure in src/tools/boot/install-boot.sh?

My only concern is when another operating systems has already installed its loader onto this default location.

In the source code it says that it's rather experimental. I'd not reference it.

Also, we would like to have a manual page for it like beinstall.sh(8) so that we can reference it.

My only concern is when another operating systems has already installed its loader onto this default location.

This is something to ask about on hackers@.
