If you exit the shell can you pick a boot option/disk or does it just reboot?
b
gets me into the pc-q35 system configuration where I can choose device manager, boot manager, boot maintenance manager - none of the boot options appear to work
I am however able to use the maintenance menu in the system configuration to boot from efi/debian/grubx64.efi from FS0 listede in the mapping table in the efi shell
going to try to modify the vfat filesystem and rename debian to grub as I see that appears to be the “default” - not sure why it’s debian in proxmox created machines
that didn’t appear to have any effect
or rather it gave me a system that booted into a grub rescue shell
looks like I’ll just have to add the “debian” boot option and change boot order manually for each VM to migrate to harvester 😭
the next issue being that the uefi changes don’t appear to persist on a reboot
and the solution for anyone finding this later, was annoyingly simple: run 
grub-install --removable
to populate the correct paths in the VM before exporting from proxmox
i
and that's all you did to export the vm from Proxmox?
b
We recreated the VM definitions using the awesome [terraform harvester provider](https://github.com/harvester/terraform-provider-harvester), where we attached disks exported (using e.g. 
qemu-img convert -f rbd -O qcow2 rbd:main/vm-121-disk-1 /tmp/serve/vm-121-disk-1.qcow2
) from proxmox (ceph rdb storage, where disk-0 was the proxmox EFI drive we simply discarded) after ensuring grub was installed in the expected path using 
grub-install --removable
