15 With UEFI you don't need bios_grub partition.
16 You also don't nee the legacy_boot flag.
17
18 But what you need is a FAT32 partiton where the GRUB's UEFI binary will be
19 installed.
20
21 You mount that partition at /boot/efi
22 You should also set GRUB_PLATFORMS="efi-64" in make.conf and update world.
23
24 After that run "grub2-install /dev/sda" (or whatever block device you use).
25
26 Then you can verify that GRUB 2 is added into UEFI boot menu: run efibootmgr as
27 root (it's from sys-boot/efibootmgr package).
