AFAIK, the ctrl-bypass is the only option to make the grub on doc return
control to the bios.

/dev/nftla is the nftl device representing your doc, but not a
partition. You have to create a new partition on it. You may use fdisk
/dev/nftla to do create one. Suppose you only create one partition, you
will get /dev/nftla1, representing the first partition. Then, you should
use mke2fs /dev/nftla1 to create a ext-2 filesystem on it (assuming you
choose ext-2.
