From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You tried to mount the same partition twice at the end there, you want /dev/sda2 (your main root partition) on /mnt and /dev/sda1 (your efi partition) on /mnt/boot/efi
thanks
getting new error "EFI variables cannot be set on this system." error cannot find grub drive for /dev/sda1
In the boot menu can you just select the drive itself as a boot device? If so I would try the suggestion from this comment:
