updating to both uefi & legacy mode sandbox

https://superuser.com/questions/801515/is-a-hybrid-linux-usb-stick-for-uefi-legacy-bios-possible

device > create partition table > gpt


think about /boot as 128mb fat32 gpt partition drive. partition name boot partition label boot. (probably set the boot flag?)

rest of the drive jfs partition name funtoo partition label funtoo.

root # echo "LABEL=boot /boot vfat noauto,noatime 0 2" >> /etc/fstab

we want to install both legacy and uefi in one swoop.


stab 2 at getting uefi going from legacy machine.

root # mkdir /boot/efi
root # mount /dev/sdc1 /boot/efi
root # grub-install --target=x86_64-efi /boot/efi

/boot/efi/efi/gentoo/grubx64.efi is generated.

stab 3 gpt partitioning via official install method gdisk. testing legacy grub + gpt to verify that MBR can be deprecated.
