How Do You Configure /boot and /boot/efi Partitions on a RHEL Computer?

Problem scenario
You are installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux. There are some partitions that you do not know how to configure. You know your systems uses NVMe (Non-volatile memory) and EFI. How do you configure /boot and /boot/efi in the "Manual Partitioning" when you are installing Linux?

Solution
The /boot/efi partition would likely be nvme0n1p2 with 1024 MiB. The "Mount Point" would be "/boot/efi". The "Device Type" would be "Standard Partition" without encryption. The "File System" should be "EFI System Partition".

The /boot partition would likely be nvme0n1p1 with 1024 MiB. The "Mount Point" would be "/boot". The "Device Type" would be "Standard Partition" without encryption. The "File System" probably should be ext4 (but others could work).
