It means that the specific file doesn't exist. What BIOS/Firmware are you
using? Is it EFI 1.1-based?

There's a new copy of efibootmgr 0.4.0-test4 that I posted to linux-ia64 a
couple weeks ago that fixes this. Rather than assume a fixed variable
exists, it uses the first variable it can to do the writing.

Please download and try

Thanks,
Matt
