The easiest method would be to chroot into your installation. From |
| 18 |
there, you can format the EFI partition, then mount it. |

|
| 20 |
If you don't have mkfs.vfat in your chroot, I think the package that has |
| 21 |
it is dosfstools. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
So basically: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
1. chroot into your install (makes sure /boot is mounted before |
| 26 |
chroot'ing in) |
| 27 |
2. format the EFI partition, install dosfstools if required |
| 28 |
3. mount the EFI partition to /boot/efi |
| 29 |
4. grub2-install --target=x86_64-efi |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
The grub.cfg you showed before looked correct to me, the Gentoo |
| 32 |
GNU/Linux entry was trying to boot off of root='hd0,gpt2' which is correct. |
