#18184: x86_64/UEFI - Doesn't boot after selecting the boot partition.

-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
With the release of new R1/beta4 I decided to reinstall my old Haiku
install on a modern motherboard of mine but I ran into several issues.
The board is ASRock X570 Taichi Razer Edition. I've disabled CSM (as I
don't have any use of it since all disks are GPT and all systems use
UEFI), with fTPM and Secure Boot all disabled.
1. I still need to use the on-chassis SD Card Reader to be able to use
DriveSetup.
See issue #17287 that I reported a long time ago. With an unpopulated SD
Card Reader, DriveSetup still hangs. With pre-made partitions, it seems
I'm not really required to use it to format the target partition
beforehand, as reinstalling will wipe it anyway.
2. When booting Haiku install medium with the on-chassis SD Card Reader,
the installer doesn't start. Instead, it boots straight to the live system
and I have to open Installer manually.
I don't know how the install medium decides to open the Installer, but the
installation can succeed. Just that on this particular system, I cannot
really start the system I installed (see the next part).
On the other hand, if I boot the using an external card reader with the
same SD card loaded, then the installation process does start on boot, and
I'm greeted with options to choose language and keyboard layout.
3. I use rEFInd to boot the Haiku Boot manager, but something's odd.
When choosing the Haiku option, I'm immediately prompted the boot menu
asking me to select the boot partition. In some cases there should be only
one entry, but in recent cases I noticed there are two same entries.
It doesn't matter which one I choose, I simply cannot boot. When I chose
"Continue booting", the Haiku logo showed for a brief second then it
reboots. There's no KDL, no message of any kind. I'm using NVMe SSDs, but
that shouldn't matter as I did boot older Haiku builds on the same board
before.
Should note that when I directly boot the SD card containing the
installation medium with an external card reader (not the on-chassis one),
there's also a chance the boot menu will show up, offering option to boot
either my existing install or the install medium (Haiku), and "Continue
booting" will lead to the same reboot behavior regardless of the option I
chose. Again, there's no KDL, no message of any kind.
Now I'm a bit stuck as I don't really know what exactly might be causing
the issue. It seems booting the x86_64 version of Haiku with UEFI is still
complicated and I think I might have missed something.
