Subject: Cannot boot 3.18 with UEFI?

Hi,

I am dipping my toe into Alpine, and got it running on an ancient
netbook with 1G of RAM.

My next and current attempt is to get it to work installed in a
partition on a UEFI multi-boot machine. Being kinda new to both Alpine
and UEFI, I am so far not succeeding.

If I use efibootmgr to create a UEFI boot option for my alpine partion,
it silently fails and falls back to the EFI boot menu.

I installed rEFInd from an old Ubuntu partition on the same machine
(rEFInd does not appear to have made it into Alpine stable) but the
rEFInd Boot Manager does not find and present Alpine as a boot
option.

Has anyone seen an Alpine 3.18 default Syslinux install work on UEFI?

I am grasping at straws at this point,
