It currently shows:

Boot0000* Fedora        HD(1,GPT,7554722f-6e12-4c21-89da-5c43790ced1e,0x800,0x12c000)/File(\EFI\fedora\shimx64.efi)

However the man page for efibootmgr only talks about disks in terms of
/dev/... so I'm not clear on how to a) identify the new SSD, and b)
tell the boot manager about it.
