-        If your system has UEFI support and you wish to boot LFS with UEFI,
-        you can skip this package in LFS,
-        and install GRUB with UEFI support (and its dependencies) by following
-        the instructions on
-        <ulink url="&blfs-book;postlfs/grub-efi.html">the BLFS page</ulink>.
+        On LoongArch systems, the following instruction builds GRUB for UEFI.
+        But the built GRUB lacks some features because a few optional
+        dependencies of GRUB for UEFI is beyond the scope of LFS and not
+        installed yet.
