Similar to the CentOS-9-Stream fix [1] this change renames the default BLS entry to match the current machine-id so that grub2-mkconfig calls will refresh the kernel options. However there is an additional issue with the rhel-9 base image. It is unique in having a dedicated boot partition, so the path to the kernel and initramfs don't include /boot. This results in an unbootable image when /boot is a directory of the root partition. These paths do not get corrected by calling grub2-mkconfig, so this change performs a sed on the paths to fix them for a root partition /boot.

rhel
Use RHEL cloud images as the baseline for built disk images.
Because RHEL base images are not publicly available, it is necessary
to first download the RHEL cloud image from the Red Hat Customer Portal
and pass the path to the resulting file to disk-image-create as the
DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE environment variable.
The cloud image can be found at (login required): RHEL8: https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/479/ver=/rhel---8/8.0/x86_64/product-software RHEL7: https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/69/ver=/rhel---7/7.1/x86_64/product-downloads
Then before running the image build, define DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE (replace the file name with the one downloaded, if it differs from the example):
export DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE=rhel-8.0-x86_64-kvm.qcow2The downloaded file will then be used as the basis for any subsequent image builds.
For further details about building RHEL images, see the rhel-common and redhat-common element README files.
