Boot into the rescuecd |

Open your first disk with gdisk or parted: |
| 7 |
gdisk /dev/sda |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
List partitions (p<enter> in gdisk and print in parted) |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Find a partition of the type EF00. That is your UEFI boot partition. Mark down the number of that partition. The number most likely 1. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
If you didn't find EF00 partition search the next disk (sdb). |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Mount your boot partition (in my setup it is sda1): |
| 16 |
mkdir /uefipartition |
| 17 |
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /uefipartition |
| 18 |
nano /uefipartition/loader/entries/gentoo.conf |
| 19 |

Just edit and save and you are done. If you have everything setup as in the wiki (http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gummiboot) this will work. Neil gave the same instructions... This is just a bit more detailed. |

I like to always keep grub installed because it is like swiss army knife for booting. You can always get a shell and find your lost kernel image. Even if it is still in /usr/src... So you kind of like never render your system to an unbootable state. Nor would need to use rescue cd. And you can boot windows, memtest, chainload etc! |
