 limitations mips-loongson (with Linux protocol)
 and mips-qemu_mips can use only memory up to first hole.
 
+Bootlocation is ability of GRUB to automatically detect where it boots from.
+``disk'' means the detection is limited to detecting the disk with partition
+being discovered on install time. ``partition'' means that disk and partiton
+can be automatically discovered. ``file'' means that boot image file name as
+well as disk and partition can be discovered. For consistency default install ignores
+partition and relies solely on disk detection. If no bootlocation discovery is available
+or boot and grub-root disks are different, UUID is used instead. On ARC if no device
+to install to is specified, UUID is used instead as well.
