Is there any tools like efibootmgr on Linux?

Google search only leads to an abandoned ports on freshports (/sysutils/grub2-pcbsd)

FreeBSD does have efibootmgr(8). I have no idea if it does the same thing as the tool with the same name on Linux, though.

I do. Have idea. Yes it does the same thing. Yes it is the same piece of software.

/usr/sbin/efibootmgr is available in standard installation and having just played around with uefi, I see no difference between the linux or the freebsd version.

This is exactly the same thing.

I used this term however. I do not expect it's part of the base system but something installed from ports.

@loozer Your search returns results for articles containing efibootmgr and freshports. Mine searches for articles containing efibootmgr and freebsd.

If you want to search freshports, it has its own search engine on the right hand side. Or you can use Google by entering

efibootmgr site:https://freshports.org/

Yeah. Thanks. My Google search skill is just basic level.

Using Google search effectively is a bit of a "dark" art form, there is no shame in not fully understanding it.
