Dual Boot MacOS Sonoma and Kali 2023.3 booting straight to MacOS after Sonoma update.

Dual boot was running smoothly until I did the software update for MacOS Sonoma and now I cannot boot into Kali 2023.3.

Disk Utility shows the partitions: No Name 999MB (efi); disk0s4 32GB (swap); disk0s5 150GB (/); disk0s6 317GB (/home).

I have followed https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/408872/mac-boot-menu-not-showing-recently-installed-linux-os however I still boot directly into MacOS:

In terminal
sudo diskutil mount disk0s1
sudo mkdir -p /Volumes/EFI/EFI/BOOT
sudo cp /Volumes/EFI/EFI/kali/grubx64.efi /Volumes/EFI/EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi

sudo diskutil unmount disk0s1

Is there a way to correct this from using kali live but without reinstalling everything?

boot live, chroot to the installed system, rebuild grub...

or install refind..

All done thank you. I used the live system and redid Grub.

Very easy.
