Unfortunately there aren't many option in the menu system and I didn't see anything obvious like that. The Device Manager shows an empty Devices List, and the Boot Manager only lets me select FS and BLK devices. The Boot Maintenance Manager menu has sub-menus for Boot Options, Driver Options, Console Options, and Boot From File - but again no mentions of ACPI or DTBs.
