Can you please send me the output of the blkid command issued at the
"ONIE" prompt? The installer expects that the EFI partition that comes
with the pre-installed ONIE has a UUID. For example, on one of my
EdgeCore systems the relevant entry looks like this:

/dev/sda1: SEC_TYPE="msdos" LABEL_FATBOOT="EFI System" LABEL="EFI System"
UUID="5567-56ED" BLOCK_SIZE="512" TYPE="vfat" PARTLABEL="EFI System"
PARTUUID="f5007023-acca-4d44-816b-a1a20b4fde68"
