I've been struggling to install Qubes on a 2015 Macbook Pro, and I seem to be having a problem similar to others: my Xen.cfg file is empty after the initial Qubes installation. This obviously leaves me with an un-bootable system.
I've done quite a bit of poking around, and I stumbled on a github thread (https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/794) which has information about what should be in a normal config file. I've hand-modified the file, and have gotten up to a point where the bootloader starts to look for the root device and fails. My question is, how do I figure out the location of the root device? I've tried running vgdisplay and lvdisplay when in lvm (from the dracut command prompt), but it doesn't come up with anything. Can anyone please point me in the right direction?
I apologize if this has been covered before, but I've done hours of research, and have been unable to come up with an answer.

locading Xen 4.6.1...
error: can't find command 'multiboot'
Loading Linux 4.4.14.11.pvops.qub es.x86_64...
error: can't find command 'module'.
Loading initial ramdisk...
error: can't find command 'module'.
Press any key to continue...
Pressing any key returns me to the grub boot menu.
This appears to be (after some light research) an issue with grub looking for multiboot.mod. I'll continue searching for an answer, but again, if anyone has advice, I would really appreciate it.
If nothing else, I'm at least hoping to document my steps for anyone else that stumbles across this in the future.
Happy New Year!
