Right, something like that would work if you copy the OpenBSD EFI

why do i have to copy the EFI file first? Does the order matter?

If yes, the correct workflow would be the following;

1: Install OpenBSD
2: Start a Live-Linux image
3: Write the UEFI entry with efibootmgr
4: Reboot and hope the best :)

Or does someone have a better suggestion? What about efibootmgr, is it worth importing it into the OpenBSD source tree? Or do you guys want to do it yourself and create something like a uefictl with a clean CLI to manage UEFI corrcetly. I am not sure what the best way to go is here, but UEFI is not going away and the people using it are only going to get more and more do to larger discs becoming more common.
