Stop followed by lowercase "e.g."? I'd suggest expanding the Latin
abbreviation to "such as" here and "for instance" below.
Then taking your revisions:

Typo: "occasionally".
"PXE boot" as a verb might want a hyphen, but then again maybe not.
> chainload). Answering "yes" here will leave NVRAM untouched.
Or "setting this option", or maybe "accepting", though that might be
confusing with "Default: false" and "yes" meaning "avoid doing it"...
I'll leave it for now. So:
_Description: Avoid adding GRUB to firmware NVRAM configuration?
By default GRUB will be registered into NVRAM on platforms where this is
required, such as UEFI Boot Manager or OpenFirmware boot devices.
.
Occasionally this is not desired (for instance on systems that PXE boot
and then chainload). Answering "yes" here will leave NVRAM untouched.
