In this instance I'm very comfortable that RTFM is the appropriate response.
This is covered in the Release Notes:
https://wiki.openmandriva.org/en/3.0/Release_Notes
Try internet search using 'Linux /boot/efi'. Here's 2 links that should pick
up:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFI_system_partition
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/EFI_System_Partition

It is and it's the only solution. You have to select the '/boot/efi/' partition
and it needs the flags 'esp' and 'boot'. Not optional on OpenMandriva .iso's
currently.

They're both on '/boot/efi' partition. All the entries 'efibootmgr' pulls up
are.

Disagree. People with no knowledge won't be installing their own operating
system in the first place. If one is installing one's own system a certain
amount of knowledge and/or willingness to RTFM is implied. When I started in
Linux with Fedora Core 3 I had to do a bit of reading first and more later.

This is true and I wish OM had this feature but we don't. You could file a bug
report requesting this and under Importance select 'Trivial/Enhancement'.
Summation: Marking bug as RESOLVED/INVALID as this is clearly covered in
Release Notes.
