Another thing to check is that the boot.cfg file is being used at all.
Put a distinctive banner in it, so when it gets read, it is obvious that
it is really being used.  It is possible that nothing you put there is
being seen.

On my system, I haven't yet made efiboot find a boot.cfg file (not on the
root filesys, not any of those, nor in the EFI partition, any plausible
path) - but finding out why hasn't been a priority (I just dispensed
boot.cfg files all over the place, each with a banner saying which one
was found - none ever appeared, just the default boot netbsd flag banner).
