proxmox-boot-tool

[Taurolyon]

This utility doesn't account for the boot method used; it seems to focus on GRUB installations, and disregards UEFI systemd-boot installations which require the use of proxmox-boot-tool refresh to update the kernel boot list.

i also confirm the incompatibility with pure EFi systems ⚠️
