docs(setup): pass the disk and partition number to efibootmgr

Browse Source 
The unsigned setup guides passed the EFI System Partition device to
efibootmgr -d, which expects the disk, and left out -p, which defaults
to partition 1. The command failed, or created a boot entry for the
wrong partition when the ESP isn't the first one. Pass the disk and the
partition number, as the signed guides do.
