Do not uninstall non-installed packages
The bootloader element uses the grub-efi-$arch package to remove already
installed packages (for redhat).  The uninstall of a non-installed
package fails with a non-zero exit code on gentoo.  The gentoo base
tarball does not include a bootloader and the grub-efi-$arch package is
only used for uninstalls, so zero out the variable to allow bootable
images to be generated.

==========
bootloader
==========

Installs ``grub[2]`` on boot partition on the system. In case GRUB2 is
not available in the system, a fallback to Extlinux will happen. It's
also possible to enforce the use of Extlinux by exporting a
``DIB_EXTLINUX`` variable to the environment.

Arguments
=========

* ``DIB_GRUB_TIMEOUT`` sets the ``grub`` menu timeout.  It defaults to
  5 seconds.  Set this to 0 (no timeout) for fast boot times.

* ``DIB_BOOTLOADER_DEFAULT_CMDLINE`` sets parameters that are appended
  to the ``GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT`` values in ``grub.cfg``
  configuration. It defaults to ``nofb nomodeset gfxpayload=text``.

* ``DIB_BOOTLOADER_SERIAL_CONSOLE`` sets the serial device to be
  used as a console. It defaults to ``hvc0`` for PowerPC, 
  ``ttyAMA0,115200`` for ARM64, otherwise ``ttyS0,115200``.
