I believe this due to the way the system got installed in the first
place, which was via a secure booted livedisc. Later, as the usual
kernel build for Fedora did not support touch on the pro4,  Jake Day's
5.1 kernel was build on the system, but i needed to be started without
secure boot.

now, the efi stuff is installed, i accept a few "oh, theres efi, i do
efi" mistakes from time to time. But i don't have a clue, how the system
could boot with those symlinks before that grub-install destroyed it.

And still,we do not know why the f33 livedisc does not boot at all when
inserted early
AND
why grub-install /dev/USBDRIVE  (correct devicename ofcourse ) is
overwriting the ssd boot setup, instead of the usbdrive bootconfig.
