Both Peters are right and my previous answer was wrong for Thelma's usecase, the /boot directory must be on a linux fs which understands symlinks *if vmlinuz is used* - this is because the ESP partition's FAT fs cannot use symlinks. The /efi directory *must* be on a FAT fs and contain the grubx64.efi, or any other bootloader *.efi image. If kernels are copied manually and vmlinuz symlinks are not used then a FAT partition with mountpoint on /boot and containing the /boot/efi directory will work as intended.
