   Is there an entry in fstab for it? Maybe it is just not mounted? Otherwise,   
   have a look at the output of gdisk (or a similar tool) to locate your efi   
   partition.

   The BIOS lists the bootable EFI partitions it found. Mine typically look like   
   this:   
      
   ---   
   ~# l /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/   
   -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 139264 May  5 18:55 BOOTX64.EFI   
   ---   
      
      
   This is the default naming scheme that should always work. For everything   
   else, you might have to set up boot environment variables (usually, efibootmgr   
   is your friend there).   
      
      
      
   Regards,   
   Gerrit
