bootloader command-line - for example, the syslinux

+ --configfile: Specifies a user defined configuration file for

Note that bootloader functionality and boot partitions are
implemented by the various --source plugins that implement
bootloader functionality; the bootloader command essentially
provides a means of modifying bootloader configuration.
