I will go back and document this, but let me try to get this disk booted
first.

In "Boot Option Maintenance Menu", there is a "Boot from a File"
option. That shows:
NO VOLUME LABEL [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Primary,Master)/CD
NO VOLUME LABEL [Acpi(HWP0002,100)/Pci(1|0)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun0)/HD(P
NO VOLUME LABEL [Acpi(HWP0002,100)/Pci(1|0)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun0)/HD(P
Removable Media Boot [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Primary,Maste
Load File [EFI Shell [Built-in]]
Load File [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(3|0)/Mac(00306E4C7BDD)]
Load File [Acpi(HWP0002,100)/Pci(2|0)/Mac(00306E4C7ACA)]
The first "Scsi" selection may correspond to an older disk, since
removed? There is no boot/loader.efi in any case.
The second "Scsi" selection has no choices at all: it just says:
[Treat like Removable Media Boot]
If boot/loader.efi is supposed to be something I can find from the EFI
shell with "ls -r fsN:" then there's a problem since I can't find the
file anywhere.
