Others have suggested adding a new step as well. I'm not sure we need it as a make target, but perhaps a generic script such as "update-loader" that will call "efi-update-loader" if on a UEFI system, or "boot0cfg" etc. on an MBR system (i.e. it knows how to install boot/loader code for all systems we support)? Also, about the naming: would you prefer 'install' or 'update' in the script name? When you say "stop installing loader", do you mean stop installing /boot/loader* entirely, or leave installworld installing those, but have updating the ESP as the extra step? -- Rebecca Cran
