The only other options relating to that are for boot order and boot delay.

Yes. 'Select boot volume' is set to 'none', and 'Rescan volumes' does
not find anything.

No. I have the three main options ('Select boot volume', 'Select safe
mode options', 'Select fail-safe video mode') and 'Reboot'. 'Continue
booting' is unselectable due to no boot volume being found, and the
space bar does not bring me to the boot loader options menu.

Yes, definitely.

Correct.
