Ok,

efibootmgr -v

Fatal: Couldn't open either sysfs or procfs directories for accessing 
EFI variables.
Try 'modprobe efivars' as root

I can't mount /dev/disk/by-label/EFI, when I create a directory and try 
to mount the partition, mount says:

mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or disco busy

however, mount output don't show that /dev/sda1 is mounted

Some directories are in read only mode and I could not create a 
directory to mount the partition, I tried into /config and /live.

/dev/disk/by-label/EFI points to /dev/sda1 and "disco" is the directory 
mount point.

Also,  /proc/efi/vars/   and  /sys/firmware/efi/vars/ are not present

Thanks
