rEFInd was working fine. High Sierra was the only OS on my MBP 2015. Here's what happened:
- Booted into MacOS
- Used Disk Util (gui) to shrink the boot disk so that I could install Linux Mint 21 onto the new partition.
- Boot partition: APFS (case-sensitive). New partition: ExFAT
- Rebooted Mac --> rEFInd loads
- Select Linux Mint Live USB drive
- Launch Gparted
- Deleted the two new partitions MacOS created as part of the resize/create operation in #2 above. I think this is where things got messed up.
- I applied the changes.
- Reboot
- rEFInd loads up... but no longer sees the MacOS drive
Booting the mac while holding Option/Alt no longer shows the boot drive, it only prompts for network boot. Similarly booting with Command+R goes directly to Internet Recovery instead of the local hard drive recovery.

What can I do to get my Mac to boot normally? Either restore it to boot from my MacOS (and I'll start the dual-boot process over) or to boot from rEFInd in such a way it seems my MacOS again.
