System BootOrder not found. Initializing defaults.

I install Fedora 29 on Asus C300S Chromebook.
Everything is fine but during boot, a message shows that

Code:

System BootOrder not found. Initializing defaults.
Creating boot entry "Boot0002" with label "Fedora" for file /EFI/fedora/shimx64.efi

and then boot normally.

And my

Code:

$ efibootmgr -v

shows that

Quote:

BootCurrent: 0000
Timeout: 3 seconds
BootOrder: 0002,0000,0001
Boot0000* EFI eMMC Device PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x10,0x0)/eMMC(0)/Ctrl(0x0)
Boot0001* EFI Internal Shell MemoryMapped(11,0x830000,0xc0ffff)/FvFile(c57ad6b7-0515-40a8-9d21-551652854e37)

I would like to find out what is happening and whether it is dangerous because I am using this computer for my work.

Thanks in advance.

Then I recommend using different distro.

Hard to argue with the sentiment. Your problem looks like a "locked down" BIOS and shouldn't really be a problem, but I have no experience with Chromebooks.

go to bios and look for secure chip and make it Inactive.
F10 to save and your problem is gone

I have an asus that does this after replacing the motherboad except it would say can not set boot order initialising firmware.
I can change the boot order in the bios but not with efibootmgr so wasn't a big issue for me. Never did figure out what caused it just assume it was one of them efi firmware bugs and I don't like doing bios firmware updates unless I absolutly have to
