Combining the two statements would appear to have consequences not obvious from the separate statements in isolation. Rewording the first to substitute where loader.efi comes from based on the second (if I interpret right): MISQUOTE The specific thing we will stop doing is that in the absence of instructions to the contrary, we will no longer search for root on other than the device for the ESP used (which will hold loader.efi).
