367 the ID shall be generated on first boot and is not known when the entries are prepared. Note that
368 using the machine ID has the benefit that multiple parallel installations of the same OS can coexist
369 on the same medium, and they can update their boot loader entries independently. When using another
370 identifier (such as the OS ID or the OS image ID), parallel installations of the same OS would try to
371 use the same entry name. To support parallel installations, the installer must use a different entry
372 token when adding a second installation.</para></listitem>
