Note that the system does not use an EFI system partition (and does not run EFI). OS selection is designed around APFS containers and subvolumes containing files in a specific layout.

AS Macs are designed to be brick-proof. They can be recovered from another machine by using a USB cable and booting from ROM, even if all NOR and NVMe contents are destroyed (\* NOR destruction untested). This is [officially documented](https://support.apple.com/guide/apple-configurator-mac/revive-or-restore-a-mac-with-apple-silicon-apdd5f3c75ad/mac) using another Mac. We have alternative [open source tooling](https://github.com/libimobiledevice/idevicerestore) for this that works on Linux/etc.
