Yes, I can do that, but the BIOS rewrites it. It always puts the SATA
SSD drive (it also has a hardwired SSD) first in the list, and it
always fails to find something bootable on it. EFI booting is working
OK, as if I use efibootmgr to set NextBoot, that is honoured, and it
boots the correct entry.
