We do not need it automated. We need it to be described in enough detail
that we can write that BOOTx64.efi to the proper place. If there are some
steps to find out where to write it etc., fine. Describe those steps.

But mentioning a vague solution without more details lets far
more unexperienced people try to fix complex issues, which will
end in desasters.

Then, before automating it, give us enough details so that we
can at least do it manually.
