    non-x86-efi: creatingpartition: unsupport separate /boot
    
    I don't have time for supporting a configuration that I intentionally
    avoid for my systems since 2020.

+      different distros into one shared partition is so much that the editor
+      maintaining this edition does not want to spend any time on such a
+      configuration.  If you want to access the boot loader configuration
+      from all the installed distros, consider using a separate partition
+      for <filename class='directory'>/boot/grub</filename> instead: doing
+      so will likely require hacking other distros so the details will not
+      be explained in the book.</para></listitem>
 
       <listitem><para>/home &ndash; Highly recommended.  Share your home
       directory and user customization across multiple distributions or LFS
