ESP on M.2 NVMExpress SSD

Hello All!
Just tried to install my new arch system on an MSI Z10A Gaming Pro Mainboard with M.2 SSD for / and /boot.
I followed along the instructions for setup grub on ESP with efibootmgr.

Unfortunately it does not boot from it. I assume the board cannot boot from the M.2 SSD. It is not indicated or selectable in UEFI.
How can i check that?

Next steps i want to write to MSI, wether or not the board boots from M.2 and setup /boot on /dev/sda1 for recheck...

Thanks for help,

  Daniel.

Re: ESP on M.2 NVMExpress SSD

At the moment, Grub version in Arch repositories does not support booting from NVME drives.
Use systemd-boot instead.
