Steve Baker f118649738 Fix BLS entries for /boot partitions 
Creating a separate /boot partition is desirable in some cases[1].
This change detects if /boot is a partition, and ensures that the
kernel/ramdisk paths are correct in either case. This is applied to
all BLS entries files, whether they were generated by the previous
grub2-mkconfig call or in the source image.

This means the rhel9 specific workaround can be removed since all
paths are now normalised at this stage.

rhel

Use RHEL cloud images as the baseline for built disk images.

Because RHEL base images are not publicly available, it is necessary to first download the RHEL cloud image from the Red Hat Customer Portal and pass the path to the resulting file to disk-image-create as the DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE environment variable.

The cloud image can be found at (login required): RHEL8: https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/479/ver=/rhel---8/8.0/x86_64/product-software RHEL7: https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/69/ver=/rhel---7/7.1/x86_64/product-downloads

Then before running the image build, define DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE (replace the file name with the one downloaded, if it differs from the example):

export DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE=rhel-8.0-x86_64-kvm.qcow2

The downloaded file will then be used as the basis for any subsequent image builds.

For further details about building RHEL images, see the rhel-common and redhat-common element README files.
