Leaving a few comments. Additionally, maybe it would be helpful to add where can users find the efi? For example:
- Execute
cobbler distro listto get the distro name (already in the text):
suma:~ # cobbler distro list
sles15-sp4:1:SUSE
- Execute
cobbler distro reportto get information about the distro files location:
cobbler distro report --name sles15-sp4:1:SUSE
Name : sles15-sp4:1:SUSE
Architecture : x86_64
...output omitted...
Initrd : /usr/share/tftpboot-installation/SLE-15-SP4-x86_64/boot/x86_64/loader/initrd
Kernel : /usr/share/tftpboot-installation/SLE-15-SP4-x86_64/boot/x86_64/loader/linux
...output omitted...
- See the contents of the
bootdirectory. In the example above, the boot partition is the/usr/share/tftpboot-installation/SLE-15-SP4-x86_64/boot/x86_64/efifile, but this can differ based on the ISO distributor.

| cobbler distro list |

I actually wonder, do we want to wrap these with mgrctl exec?
On 4.3, cobbler ... is correct.
On 5.x, it should be mgrctl exec -- cobbler distro list (or profile list)
Note that this applies to all cobbler commands.

| With [option]``--esp`` you can enable the build boot ISOs with Secure Boot. | ||
| You explicitly specify the EFI System Partition (ESP). | ||
| By default, {cobbler} searches for the ESP, and generates one if not found. |

Well, the default Cobbler search doesn't work for SUMA, which is why we add this feature :)
Suggested change

| By default, {cobbler} generates the ESP partition, which disables Secure Boot. |

Should this be in past participle? We build ISOs, but the ISO is built.
