      Takeaways:

      • If /boot is empty, fips-mode-setup should abort and ask to mount it first
      • In a chroot with /boot mounted as different partition from /, fips-mode-setup should add boot=UUID=... to kernel parameters
      • In a chroot with /boot sharing the partition with /, fips-mode-setup should not add boot= to kernel parameters
      • /boot checks should mind autofs / automount.boot / systemd-gpt-auto-generator(8)
