Good morning Meino, For U.E.F.I., the boot partition (/dev/sda2) must be FAT32. In your fstab file, this is written as (the last three arguments may vary for your system): /dev/sda2 /boot vfat defaults,noatime 0 2 https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Full/Installation#Using_UEFI A conversation about the (sometimes-interchangeable) uses of "fat" vs. "vfat", see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions//cc750354(v=technet.10) Regarding your question last night on the use of ellipses, unfortunately your e-mail server (posteo.de) does not like my (domestic) I.P.\ address, and thus assumed it spam when I tried to reply. I doubt the fine people of gentoo-user will have much regard for a conversation about English linguistics. If you would like to white-list my domain and I.P.\ (mail.suugaku.co.uk, suugaku.co.uk, and 90.193.124.236), I'll re-send in a few hours. In short, I included an example of ellipses because as you are a non-native English speaker, I did not want to cause undue confusion if you did not know the meaning of the word 'ellipses'. That is all; no hidden meanings :) -- Ashley Dixon suugaku.co.uk 2A9A 4117 DA96 D18A 8A7B B0D2 A30E BF25 F290 A8AA
