Re: [gentoo-user] UEFI booting again

In gentoo in order to make a uefi system is it necessary to use douefi as a boot parameter when starting the install? If so, it wasn't in the handbook I read. If not, my guess would be gentoo discovers this information for itself. --

I'm still wrestling with my system and its not booting. Can anyone please tell me precisely where 'efibootmgr -c ...' writes a boot record, or whatever it's called? My machine seems unable to store what I give it, and I suspect that the BIOS ROM has failed. Big expense if so. TiA.
