It's even worse on UEFI. There it should create an ESP on each drive.
But this is not allowed because there can be only one ESP for
/boot/efi. The very idea of /boot/efi is deeply unfortunate.
Nevertheless, the installer won't create an ESP on each drive. And
even if you manually create an ESP on each drive, the installer only
mounts one to /boot/efi and thus only that one gets the bootloader.
And only one is added as a boot entry in NVRAM.
The area of multiple boot devices is unsolved. It might be solvable by
bootupd. Decouple /boot/efi and /boot from RPM entirely. Have a single
canonical reference for what their states should be, and use bootupd
to enforce sync on one or more volumes that apply to the installation.
