Creating EFI boot entry

Hello,

I am able to boot my Linux instalation by booting into EFI Shell and typing the following:

     \EFI\Linux\kernel.efi root=/dev/sda4 ro initrd=\EFI\Linux\initrd.img

My EFI partition, containing the \EFI\Linux folder, is /dev/sda1.

Which command exactly do I have to type (using efibootmgr) to create this boot entry?

Re: Creating EFI boot entry

Thanks, it worked. It wasn't at first because I was using backslashes on kernel line. The exact working command was:

efibootmgr -c -L "Linux" -l '\EFI\Linux\kernel.efi' -u 'root=/dev/sda4 ro initrd=/EFI/Linux/initrd.img'
