Thanks for the update!
applied the patch - having consistent docs across our products goes a long
way

one minor nit inline - if you happen to touch this again for another
reason:

For the time being we have not only grub as a boot-loader, but also
systemd-boot - while both use `E` as edit-key - we might want to link to
the section where this is described (for pve:
https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-sysadmin.html#sysboot_edit_kernel_cmdline
for pmg - I'll try to add it in the coming days)
