Thanks for your comments. Yes, you are right, maybe it's not worthy. I 
will think about that. Once thing about my concern is the EFI image is 
on tftp server and is for massive deployment. Therefore there might be 
more than 10, 100 or even 1000 clients boot at the same time to request 
the EFI image on the server. Therefore if we can keep the size as small 
as possible, it is definitely worthy in the massive deployment scenario.
BTW, one more question. Is that possible to do some variable 
substitution in preconfig?
In my case, the "$net_default_mac" is like:
00:0c:29:1d:9a:d1
It's not really a good file name on Unix system, i.e.
The config I define in my case:
configfile $prefix/grub.cfg-01:$net_default_mac
is like
/tftpboot/nbi_img/grub-efi.cfg/grub.cfg-01:00:0c:29:1d:9a:d1
I'd like to make it as something like:
/tftpboot/nbi_img/grub-efi.cfg/grub.cfg-01-00-0c-29-1d-9a-d1
so the file name is better without ":".
I tried to use:
configfile $prefix/grub.cfg-01-${net_default_mac//:/-}
However, this bash variable substitution apparently is not working. So 
in the preconifg, rescue mode, how can I make that?
Thank you very much.

Steven.
