    grub: minor reword
    
    - Use "firmware setup" instead of "BIOS": in the context of the grub
      page "BIOS" almost always means "MBR boot," but here it means the
      firmware setup interface.
    - We may manipulate any EFI variable (unless the firmware makes it read
      only) by directly writing the efivarfs, but GRUB needs efibootmgr.
    - We don't necessarily install LFS into the same disk where ESP exists.
