Boot from UEFI Shell

Boot from UEFI Shell

I am not sure how or why the system decided to enter the UEFI shell but it did and this is how to get out of it:

Option 1: Just boot the thing

There should be a mapping table when the system enters the interactive shell:

Here it is assumed that the FAT32 boot volume is on FS0:, it probably is but alter the commands to suit.

Shell>FS0:
FS0:\> ls
Directory of: FS0:\
....              EFI
FS0:\> cd EFI
FS0:\EFI\> ls
Directory of: FS0:\EFI\
....              BOOT
FS0:\EFI\BOOT\> bootx64.efi

That did the trick, in my case bootx64.efi is the first stage bootloader supplied with SYSLINUX.
