=== Changing Boot Order ===
First, copy the current boot order. For example, my boot order is:
0002,0009,0003,0001,0007,0004
Then type in the following command
sudo efibootmgr -o
And append the boot order to the above command.
sudo efibootmgr -o 0002,0009,0003,0001,0007,0004
Let’s say you want <code>0009</code> to be the first boot entry. All you have to do is move it to the left of <code>0002</code> and press Enter.
sudo efibootmgr -o 0009,0002,0003,0001,0007,0004


=== Adding Boot Entry ===
== Purpose ==
If you have installed multiple Linux distributions on your computer, but one of the Linux distribution doesn’t have a UEFI boot entry, you can manually add it.
Boot into the Linux distro that doesn’t have UFEI boot entry.  Then make sure it has the EFI version of GRUB boot loader installed.


Debian/Ubuntu/Linux Mint

sudo apt install grub-efi
Then mount the EFI system partition (ESP) under <code>/boot/efi/</code> directory. In this example, <code>/dev/sda1</code> is the ESP.  ** If you are using NVME SSD, then the disk name is different. Use the following command to check the disk name.
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /boot/efi/
Then install Grub boot loader to ESP.
sudo grub-install /dev/sda --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi/
<code>x86_64-efi</code> means that we are going to install Grub for UEFI firmware. The default target is <code>i386-pc</code>, which is for traditional [[BIOS]] firmware.


Now, you should see a new entry in UEFI boot menu with the <code>bootmgr</code> command.  Under the hood, the Grub installer first installs a <code>.efi</code> booloader file to <code>/boot/efi/EFI/<label>/</code> directory. Usually it’s named grubx64.efi. Then it runs the following command to add a new entry in UEFI boot menu.

efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sda -p 7 -L <label> -l \EFI\<label>\grubx64.efi
* Scope: Efibootmgr의 개념, 사용법, 설정
Newly added entry will be the first in boot order.
* Non-goals: 다른 주제로의 확장


=== Deleteing Boot Entry ===
To remove the respective boot entry, run:
sudo efibootmgr -b <bootnum> -B
For example,
sudo efibootmgr -b 0014 -B
<code>-b</code> option specify the boot number. <code>-B</code> option delete that boot number.


=== Setting a Boot Entry Active or Inactive ===
== Key Concepts ==
A boot entry followed by an asterisk indicates that it’s active from the output of efibootmgr command. Otherwise it’s inactive.

To set a boot entry active, run:
sudo efibootmgr -b <bootnum> -a
To set a boot entry inactive, run:
sudo efibootmgr -b <bootnum> -A
We can use systemd service to automatically disable target boot entry.
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/disable-boot-entry.service
Add the following line in this file.
[Unit]
  Description=disable Linux Mint Boot Entry
  After=multi-user.target
[Service]
  Type=oneshot
  ExecStart=/bin/bash -c '/usr/bin/efibootmgr -b <Target boot entry number>  -A'
[Install]
  WantedBy=multi-user.target
