I don't think you have to be very expert.
Obviously you have to change the actual kernel and initrd versions
to those in use.
Also you have to change the LABEL=f7 to the appropriate label.

Apart from this, the only serious difficulty is that
you need to make a slight change if /boot is on a separate partition.

It would probably be better to give two samples, for the two cases.
The first sample should probably be for /boot on a separate partition,
as that seems to be the standard now.
