How to make Bazzite boot from SD Card on devices that can't boot from SD Cards?

Hey! I own an Ayaneo Air 1S which by default is not able to boot from an SD Card. However by it is possible with some work, for example I got Jelos working on an SD Card by copying the Jelos Kernel to the root folder of my Ubuntu installation and opening up grub.cfg from the Jelos inside its "EFI/BOOT/" Folder and copy a few lines that start with "menuentry" into the "40_custom" file located at "/etc/grub.d" of my Ubuntu installation. Is there a way to do the same with Bazzite? And if so, can someone help me to locate the kernel file and its grub.cfg? I tried looking for those files, but I only see 1 partition on the medium that I installed bazzite on and those files aren't there. It is possible perhaps I need to mount the important partition for bazzite? Sinc e I am a noob, I am not sure how to do that, maybe someone can help.

We don't support booting from an SD Card under any circumstance

Oh I see. Is it possible though? I saw some people boot from external drives.

external media in general causes issues for running bazzite. There have been reports of users running bazzite off an external NVME ssd, and it black-screening on boot you can try it if you want, but microSD will be a bad experience

Since it is not officially supported, I am not unsure whether or not I should even ask further questions, as I would still need to know how to find the kernel file and the grub config I suppose, IF it even works similar to Jelos, which I do not know obviously. So uhhh do I even ask or not lol ^^
