How is this not clear from the guide already? It seems to indicate the same just above.

My logic is rEFInd should automatically come with it's bootloader name BOOTX64.EFI but it ships as refind_x64.efi. Nothing on the rEFIend website mentions renaming it to BOOTX64.EFI. The Haiku website did help out tremendously but I thought maybe a tidbit of clarity could be useful for some folks.

You don't need to rename it if you use a command to change the default boot file name in your BIOS. Does the rEFInd website not mention that?

And does this really provide clarity, when it's said just above this?
