This may be added by BIOS / Setup :-)

> So how do I add a second boot partition?

Use efibootmgr as imp suggested and add another entry with desired
boot information, you may then select this new entry as the default.
It will show up in BIOS / Setup menu and you can change order over
there.. but the entry needs to be added with efibootmgr :-)

yea, efibootmgr -k is what's needed. You'll ne= ed to specify the partition
to boot off of. That's the ideal = solution.

No worries I had the same problem too some time ago, also found
reference to bootme flag which did not work (should be removed from
man pages?). Now I sometimes use F8 at boot to select different system
to boot.. but there are good looking menu like bootloaders for UEFI
like reEFInd [1], Clover [2], LibreBoot [3]. Maybe we need some more
documentation on this? :-)

These might = work. bootme is only documented in the BIOS loader man
page...

There's also an unsupported, may go away in the = future gptboot.efi
that you can use if you really must use this s= etup.. We use it for bootable
USB drives at work, but if it doesn= 't work for you, I'm not sure I'd fix bugs

maintaining gptboot.efi and wil= l likely remove it in the future.
