newserver.wendellfreelibrary.org% sudo efibootmgr
[sudo] password for heller: 
Fatal: Couldn't open either sysfs or procfs directories for accessing EFI variables.
Try 'modprobe efivars' as root.
newserver.wendellfreelibrary.org% sudo  modprobe efivars
FATAL: Module efivars not found.
newserver.wendellfreelibrary.org% dmesg | grep efi:
newserver.wendellfreelibrary.org% ls /sys/firmware/efi/
ls: cannot access /sys/firmware/efi/: No such file or directory
