Use a UEFI boot manager, which is much simpler than GRUB. If you use systemd you already have one if you installed it with USE="gnuefi". Otherwise use the standalone version, systemd-boot. Or you can use refind, but that is a bit more sugary. -- Neil Bothwick I'm not anti-social, I'm just not user friendly
