If you do not need/want to use a boot loader like GRUB you can use the |
| 10 |
efibootmgr to set the kernel image to boot directly. For example: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
efibootmgr --create --disk /dev/sda --part 1 --label "gentoo-4.14.14_20-Jan" |
| 13 |
--loader "\EFI\BOOT\bootx64-4.14.14-gentoo.efi" |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Where \EFI\BOOT\bootx64-4.14.14-gentoo.efi is found under: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
# tree /boot |
| 18 |
/boot |
| 19 |

You should also set CONFIG_EFI_STUB=y in your kernel. |
