[SOLVED]How to set bootcurrent using efibootmgr
I would like to know if it is possible to change the BootCurrent parameter using efibootmgr. Its help does not say anything about it. It is only possible to change the boot order.
If BootCurrent is set automatically and cannot be set manually, why is it set to a value and not to another?

BootCurrent reports how the session you are currently in booted. You can only change it by rebooting and using a different entry.

ok, so as I understand, If I set next boot to entry, let's say 0004, and entry 0004 is executed ok at reboot, then next time I check "efibootmgr .-v" it will show BootCurrent=0004. Otherwise, If entry 0004 couldn't be executed at next reboot and another entry, let's say, 0010, was executed (contained in the boot order), then next time I check outuput for "efibootmgr -v" it will show BootCurrent=0010.
Am I right?
So If I force next boot to entry 0009 by typiing:
efibootmgr -n 0009then on reboot, system will try to boot from entry 0009, right? If it success, "efibootmgr -v" will output BootCurrent=0009, otherwise it will output the entry executed. right?

It would have been quicker to just try it, wouldn't it?
