That's why EFI variables should never be used. Just put whatever you want to boot into BOOTX64.EFI!

Ah the lovely naming hacks of UEFI. :-P I remember the troubles it took to boot Ubuntu on a Lenovo laptop because the EFI was 32 bit, while the system supported 64 bit.

Yeah, old devices with 32-bit EFI…

I have a Mac mini 2006 (upgraded to 2007). I compiled GRUB 2 for 32-bit EFI and it boots 64-bit FreeBSD from ZFS just fine :)
