Is there an entry in fstab for it? Maybe it is just not mounted? Otherwise,
have a look at the output of gdisk (or a similar tool) to locate your efi
partition.

The BIOS lists the bootable EFI partitions it found. Mine typically look like
this:

---
~# l /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 139264 May  5 18:55 BOOTX64.EFI
---


This is the default naming scheme that should always work. For everything
else, you might have to set up boot environment variables (usually, efibootmgr
is your friend there).



Regards,
Gerrit
