I'd say you're better off using a UEFI boot manager. If you use systemd, |
15 |
add the boot USE flag to get its boot manager, formerly gummiboot. If you |
16 |
don't use systemd you can install the boot manager on its own as |
17 |
systemd-boot. Or try rEFInd. All are in portage and easy to set up in a |
18 |
way that is shocking to anyone used to GRUB. |
