bootupd changed UEFI server boot order to left the bootc system boot first

[henrywang]

When I run bootc install to-existing-root test on aarch64 bare metal server, the bootupd changed boot order to left the bootc system boot first. To re-install a new system, I have to re-configure the boot order to enable network boot first.

The RFE here I think is for an option to preserve the existing boot order. Some use cases are likely relying on us replacing it.

Hi @cgwalters, I'm a little bit confused here. Why does the bootupd not replace the Boot0000 which is created by package mode installation? But create a new duplicated one Boot0002? Thanks.

Logically it should replace the same bootentry, will check it.
