Summary

Could you please add an example showing how to use Set-VMFirmware to add a VMBootSource firmware path?

Details

For example, I have a bootable Gen2 (UEFI) VM where I installed Debian that has the firmware path pointing to the debian shimx64.efi:

PS C:\Windows\system32> (Get-VMFirmware -VMName gen2-debian-test).BootOrder | Where-Object { $_.BootType -eq 'File' } | Select-Object -ExpandProperty FirmwarePath
HD(1,GPT,FFB61BB9-ADBE-49BC-BCE8-22AF4F699210,0x800,0x100000)/\EFI\debian\shimx64.efi
PS C:\Windows\system32>

I want to add a similar setting to another new Gen2 VM, but I am having trouble figuring out how to do that.

I know the disk identifier, but I just can't figure out how to set the firmware path using Set-VMFirmware.

Suggested Fix

Add an example showing how to set firmware path to EFI shim, please.
