The only problem is when using the bootctl command to initialize that partition (/boot), it requires that I set the SYSTEMD_RELAX_XBOOTLDR_CHECKS variable. I don't think it should require setting that environment variable in that case. But maybe I'm using the command incorrectly? The command I'm running is:

One is not really supposed to have multiple ESPs on the same
medium. Firmware should use the first one only, and ignore the
other, but you know how firmware is, when it finds unexpected stuff...
