Load what drivers you need, and then a menuentry with title, kernel, initramfs, etc. The rest of the boilerplate is to support dynamically finding the boot drive if something changes with your disks and to enable tools like grub-reboot. Handy features, and the grub-mkconfig is quicker and easier than editing even a simple config by hand. But if you really want to do it yourself that still works. LMP
