You don't need to anyway. You only need that partition when using GPT on a non-UEFI system. GRUB will boot from the UEFI ESP quite happily, although not on Peter's system for some reason. This is how I have partitioned my NVMe drive for UEFI booting (using bootctl, which is the same as systemd-boot) GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.1 Partition table scan: MBR: protective BSD: not present APM: not present GPT: present Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
