I like to check 'efibootmgr' inside the

experience
yet with the newer efivarfs, but I think that's similar.) If you
cannot
find the UEFI boot variables, then GRUB cannot either---and the
setup
will be defective. It will not boot in UEFI.
Old GRUB boot sectors can make the boot experience even more
confusing.
I’ve tried wiping both the entire SSD, and just the first 100mb,
both with random data and zeros. Either would obliterate any
legacy boot sector which may have been present.
Can you talk a bit more about using efibootmgr inside the
installer?
