The only obvious thing for it to boot is EFI/BOOT/BOOT${ARCH}.efi.
Booting the first EFI executable you find on a drive is not a sensible
thing to do. Even Apple don't do that. Install Linux (only) on a Mac,
zap the PRAM, see what happens - it'll boot if there's a blessed
bootloader on an HFS+ partition, not otherwise.
