UEFI not booting

First-time Arch user installing Arch in Hyper-V.

I followed the Installation Guide and after installing the systemd-boot boot loader and creating a boot entry, the only thing I see is "Reboot Into Firmware". I read the note about the issue with 'bootctl install' and instead ran 'bootctl --esp-path=/mnt/boot install' from outside the arch-chroot. I guess it worked, because Hyper-V does recognize systemd-bootx.efi as a starting point:

Description: Linux Boot Manager
Value: HD(1,GPT,49866325-CC26-452B-B2F0-45D8723F0819,0x800,0x773800)/\EFI\systemd\systemd-bootx64.efi
Firmware device path: HD(1,GPT,49866325-CC26-452B-B2F0-45D8723F0819,0x800,0x773800)/\EFI\systemd\systemd-bootx64.efi

But still...

I don't know how to start troubleshooting this and would love to get some help. What do you need to know?

Re: UEFI not booting

Got it. I missed the part where I had to configure the loader manually.
