Situation; I have a Dell XPS8940 with that abomination known as UEFI, and no "legacy boot". UEFI claims there are no bootable partitions on the hard drive (/dev/sda). Yet it will automatically boot up properly from a USB key (/dev/sdb) with Gentoo minimal install. Question; is it possible to install grub/lilo/syslinux/whatever on the USB key (/dev/sdb) so that it boots up and hands off control of the boot process to the hard drive (/dev/sda1)?
