Last night, I converted an F20 install to boot using gummiboot.  The kernel.rpm
package integrates very nicely here, and uses kernel-install to provide
snippets for gummiboot.

Unfortunately, anaconda forces the ESP to be /boot/efi/ (which I find itself
really strange).  Since kernel-install hard-codes /boot/ as the target, the
result was that my loader snippets, kernel, etc. were not actually copied to
the ESP, but simply in /boot/${machine-id} .  The result of course is that
gummiboot couldn't boot without manually moving the contents to /boot/efi/ .

I think I could manually copy the 90-xx snippet in /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/ ,
but it seems like this should perhaps be more configurable ?  Perhaps a
kernel_install_target option in system.conf or so ?  I'd hate to override the
relatively large script just to change the location, and miss out on future
updates.

Thanks for the consideration, and sorry if I'm misunderstanding the situation.
