Initialize the attribute of currently used board type

Create section for bootable image

Parameters:

title

string the section name to create (untranslated)

Return value:

describes the section

Choose a boot partition on pmac type == Apple_HFS|Apple_Bootstrap && size < 20 cyl

Return value:

device name of pmac boot partition

Propose the location of the root device on disk and the boot device (if any), according to the subarchitecture. Results are stored in global variables.

Propose sections to bootloader menu modifies internal sreuctures

Propose global options of bootloader modifies internal structures

Save the ID of the base installation source modifies internal variable

Propose bootloader settings

Propose bootloader settings
