From EFI shell do a "map -r" and look for USB entries, e.g.

Shell> map -r
Device mapping table
fs0 : Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(2|1)/Usb(0, 0)/CDROM(Entry0)

then switch to fs0: and run the installer.

The boot manager is built into firmware and always there. You should see it during boot.

The boot menu should appear on both possible consoles, serial (MP) and VGA.

Which one you are using?
