Maybe rEFInd[1] can help!

UEFI has some cool things, like you don't really need a bootloader if you don't mind switching kernels. Just tell the bios which partition you want to boot.

Ah, rEFInd, I have it along with a debian image on a USB drive I labeled 'magic stick' because when all else fails, it will work.

In case of, I found that tool when I was searching for something just like efibootmgr (it might help too).

Have fun, you don't have to wait.
