bcfg boot mv #a #b — Moves the item number specified by #a to the position specified by #b
in the boot options list.
bcfg boot add # file.efi "Description" — Adds a new boot option to the position in the
boot options list specified by #. The new boot option references file.efi and is listed with the
title specified by Description.
