What happens if I use --bootloader-id to set a new ID, and there already is a "debian" in nvram, eg from a previous run or from another bootable disk? Is /boot/efi/EFI/debian renamed or removed on setting a bootloader ID? I think it should be made much more visible in the man page that grub- install sets up just one or two directories of boot loader items, and that it doesn't clean up if there is a mess. Just my $0.02 of course. Regards Harri
