Replying to [comment:9 zeckma]:
> Pierre, was booting with the EFI Variable system mounted required to get
the system to boot, and did you need to mount the EFI Variable system at
all during the process?
Not sure what you mean exactly with "booting with the EFI Variable system
mounted"... I can tell you what I did:
- after running `grub-install --removable` in chroot (which does not need
the efivarfs mounted in chroot AFAICT), exiting chroot, unmounting kernel
vfs, and rebooting, I noticed that the harcoded location was not
appearing, so I rebooted to the host system (debian stable).
- of course, on the host system efivarfs is mounted. I installed
efibootmgr with apt, then run it. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the
exact command (just that it needed some tuning to get it right). I guess
it is close to what you are proposing in the note (BTW, why use `y` for
the partition number?). Maybe you could add that this can be run from the
host (as root), which removes the need for installing efibootmgr (and
deps) from BLFS.
