Thanks for the information, but you lost me at the multiple EFI
executables in different directories.  How would boot know which
executable to choose? I thought it was the /boot/efi/EFI/fedora that
cued it that this is the system to boot.  Would there be
/boot/efi/EFI/fedora1, fedora2, etc.? Or maybe
/boot/efi/EFI1/fedora?  Would it only show up in the BIOS boot menu?  

EFI boot entries are built based on the UUID of the volume and then a path to the EFI executable, so you would just need to create another EFI entry, either for a different EFI volume with a standard path or the same EFI volume with a different path.

For example, an EFI entry looks like this:

HD(1,800,61800,6d98f360-cb3e-4727-8fed-5ce0c040365d)File(\EFI\fedora\bootx64.efi)

(Just an example I grabbed from the internet)
