+:Type: Kickstart Installation
+:Summary: Install an image using systemd-boot rather than grub (#2135531)
+
+:Description:
+    With this release, systemd-boot can be selected as an alternative boot
+    loader for testing and development purposes.
+
+    This can be done with 'inst.sdboot' from the grub/kernel command
+    line or with '--sdboot' in a kickstart file as part of the
+    bootloader command.  The resulting machine should be free of grub,
+    shim, and grubby packages, with all the boot files on the EFI
+    System Partition (ESP). This may mean that it is wise to dedicate
+    the space previously allocated for /boot to the ESP in order to
+    assure that future kernel upgrades will have sufficient space.
+
+    For more information, refer to the anaconda and systemd-boot documentation.
