Thanks James,

That script looks like it will work. Thought the next thing that really puzzles me is efibootmgr. Is it's job to boot syslinux or replace it?

Sidenote: "Boot Loader Specification" looks interesting. I see mention of it back in 2014... haha https://www.syslinux.org/archives/2014-November/022775.html
