efi-sync is a program which will update your efi when your kernel or its related files are updated. To have efi-sync to start and stop with your host, add to the beginning of /etc/rc.d/rc.local: if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.efi-sync ]; then /etc/rc.d/rc.efi-sync start fi and to /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown (creating it if needed): if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.efi-sync ]; then /etc/rc.d/rc.efi-sync stop fi Also ensure your EFI is mounted on boot by having its entry configured in /etc/fstab. For more instructions, refer to the project's README in this packages documentation under /usr/doc.
