The pathname you seem to have (as "complete") is specific to a given simple FS, so system-wide it cannot be considered complete (there can be multiple filesystems). In your original email I missed that you started with "FS1:". Andrew's answer covers that case. In summary, you can do three things: - have a pathname that starts with FSx: (which is a shell-specific mapping), and use Andrew's recommendation, - have a complete UEFI device path, and then use what I recommended, - have no information for selecting the filesystem (from the many possible), and use your current iteration. Options #1 and #2 actually correspond to each other, considering "expressive power" / information content (as long as you are in the shell); please see the MAP shell command.
