boot/efi on DOM #5

Hey,

thanks for your tutorials and the panq binary! I then bought a used TS-453Be and installed Debian on it.
It is possible to use the /boot/EFI partition natively on the DOM.
You can (re)format and mount /dev/mmcblkp1 as esp and /dev/mmcblkp2 with ext2 as /boot. After the installation of Ubuntu/Debian/..., before rebooting, you have to rename the new grub bootloader file /boot/efi/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi on the emmc to qnap.efi. Then the NAS starts the new OS regularly with the current grub and nothing has to be copied over.

I am really happy to read that you managed to install Debian on your TS-453Be!

Modifying the DOM to use UEFI is a real good idea. My initial goal was to limit DOM modifications, but it is now clear that there are better alternatives.

Would you mind adding a section in https://github.com/guedou/TS-453Be/blob/master/doc/installation.md#steps to describe the commands that you used?
