I could try that, except I have no idea what the "figure out which
settings are applicable" step should look like: the few tiems I tried to
run the efi shell (mostly to see what it looked like), I got the
impression that no command worked there.  If someone has some hints of
commands I could/should start with, that would help.

Of course, I'm not sure the volume is actually saved in an EFI var.
After all, even with MacOSX, changing the boot sound's volume can only
be done indirectly (by setting the general volume).
