13 I am not clear if this is a UEFI MoBo or not. If yes, you can use the UEFI
14 boot manager, instead of Legacy BIOS and you do not need a 'BIOS boot
15 partition'. If instead you will be booting this disk both in Legacy BIOS and
16 UEFI modes, then leave the 'BIOS boot partition' as you have it. When you
17 install GRUB in the MBR it will drop in there its Stage 2 binary code.

36 Your /boot mountpoint should be used for /dev/nvme0n1p2, if this is a UEFI
37 installation. If as you report above /boot is on /dev/sda2 you have not
38 followed the handbook correctly. In particular you have not mounted /dev/
39 nvme0n1p2 as /mnt/gentoo/boot before you chrooted into /mnt/gentoo.
