That's even more ambiguous. It should have no such expectation on UEFI,
because booting is explicitly set in NVRAM with efibootmgr.

So you have to tell it where it goes twice. Once by explicitly setting
device along with mountpoint n custom UI. And again in the hidden
bootloader options UI.

Involving the user in bootloader stuff once is bad enough as it is. Twice
