15 nomodeset did not change anything, but adding EFI_FB to the kernel finally got me a functional console. But if I startx from there I am back again to the same point, no X, no console switching with CTR-ALT-Fn, no crash in syslog, I have to SSH to get to a working shell. I'm not getting anywhere, I think I'll better install from stage3.

17 Just one more info, when issue 'halt' from the SSH OpenRC scripts are executed up to the 'mount-ro' (or similar) script, which fails with
18 "Remounting / ro failed because we are using /"
19 And the process hangs there, I need to hit the power switch to power off.
