This sounds like two separate issues. For the second, do exactly what |
| 12 |
it says. You need to edit /usr/local/portage/metadata/layout.conf to |
| 13 |
say "masters = gentoo". I don't remember doing this on my system, but I |
| 14 |
do have an emacs backup of that file without the "gentoo" on that line, |
| 15 |
so I obviously made the edit. I wonder if that needs to be added to the |
| 16 |
handbook. |

On the other issue, what do you mean that efi variables are not |
| 19 |
available? Is the system purely BIOS? That is certainly possible if it |
| 20 |
is an older motherboard. If the system does support UEFI, are you sure |
| 21 |
it is set in the BIOS? |
