I came with something similar:

(boot-parameters
 (label "openSUSE")
 (root-device "/dev/penguin/opensuse")
 (boot-name 'grub)
 (store-device "(hd0,msdos1)")
 (store-mount-point "/")
 (kernel "(hd0,msdos1)/vmlinuz")
 (kernel-arguments '("root=/dev/penguin/opensuse"
                    "init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd"))
 (initrd "(hd0,msdos1)/initrd"))))))

Unfortunately useless entries were still required (I didn't have that
idea with setting them to #f).

I couldn't verify the result configuration yet as I'm facing another,
unrelated problem.

Thanks,
