   Hey Benny!   
      
   I have it booting to 4k with a 32p font I created from terminus-font's   
   ter-u32b.bdf since regular console-fonts won't work with grub2 efi boots.    
   This works;   
      
    grub-mkfont -o /boot/efi/EFI/ZNVER2_NVME/test32.ttf ter-u32b.bdf   
      
   Now the /etc/default/grub looks like this;   
      
   -={ /etc/default/grub starts }=-

   Running 'grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg' results in;

   I also have an uefi for the sata interface and can successfully install to a   
   hotswapped 2.5" SSD on my so-called file server and then pop it into the   
   target system - ASRock 4X4-4000 Series for example - and boot it up. That is   
   what I initially did in order to create the above ZNVER2_NVME. Note that in   
   the above cfg there are no references to /dev/nvme0n1p2 where the rootfs is   
   installed to. For cross-referencing here is the output of 'blkid' for the   
   installed nvme disk;   
      
   -={ Output for 'blkid | grep /dev/nvme0n1 | sort' starts }=-

   I can also do the above for the 2.5" SSD if you think there might be some help   
   in that. It is DEFINETLY different and I think the nvme disks are handling   
   uefi boots far better than sata. The switch from grub to the linux terminal   
   isn't seamless as such but is far less noticable than not supplying a more or   
   less matching sized console-font such as latarcyrheb-sun32 which is what I am   
   deploying.   
      
   The boot penguins get displayed as part of the grub display just before the   
   real terminal display kicks in.
