Comment 7 for bug 1711203

Can we please get some clarity on what curtin needs to do? We've had two bugs in this area:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1680917 (bootorder fixed in curtin)

and

https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1687729 (closed with no update, suspected firmware issue)

it's not clear how this bug is different than those?

Not sure which machines in the logs to look at so, walking through a few:

brenan:
  installs grub-efi-amd64-signed, shim, shim-signed
  during grub install, it reports that it can't access efi vars
  I don't recall if that's fatal. Nothing for *curtin* here, if
  anything maybe bug against grub or other secureboot packages in their post-inst scripts?
