+The simplest and most reliable way to determine which bootloader is used, is to
+watch the boot process of the {pve} node.
+
+You will either see the blue box of `grub` or the simple black on white
+`systemd-boot`.

+
+
+----
+# efibootmgr -v

+
+If it returns a message that EFI variables are not supported, `grub` is used in

+If the output contains a line that looks similar to the following, `grub` is
