Dual Boot Ubuntu and Arch - Gummiboot

I inherited this system from my brother.  Some basic info:

/dev/sda seems to have an ubuntu install setup with Grub. /dev/sdb has an Arch install setup with gummiboot.

The system boots off of /dev/sdb1 and goes straight into Arch. How do I add the ubuntu install located on /dev/sda to the gummiboot config? If they were on the same HDD I think I could do it, but I'm a bit lost since they are on different drives. Thank you.

Do you have both installed in uefi mode?

UEFI

Try to use efibootmgr to add and remove entries.
