I don't have a partition to mount at /boot/efi
nvme drive with a msdos mbr two partitions one vfat and one ext4

mount
/dev/nvme0n1p2 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime)
/dev/nvme0n1p1 on /boot/ type vfat
(rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)
That is all there is folks just two partitions on a nvme drive
