Subject: [PATCH docs] bootloaders: add secure boot shim example
Date: Thu,  2 Jul 2026 10:57:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702085758.48099-1-m.sandoval@proxmox.com> (raw)

On a system that was migrated from systemd-boot to grub2 with secure
boot, the entry grubx64.efi would be missing and the systemd-bootx64.efi
entry would be present. If the shimx64.efi entry is not mentioned, then
the docs would incorrectly imply that the system uses systemd-boot as a
bootloader.

We add the shimx64.efi entry to the docs to fill this gap.
