Hello,
I installed a gentoo on a very recent system (efi support) . AT the
reception of the laptop it was a disk label msdos, with a boot
partition w** installer ... I changed that against a GPt disk label. I
can install without problem the gentoo , but now it doenst boot.
I read some docs about gpt,mbr,boot principles and tried some tools
- install the grub2 masked package and grub-install.
- a special partion bios_grub as 1st bootable partition.
but actually no succesful...
but in the parted i did not see this "bios_grub" as flag...
I found some tips from the web , but i guess that was only valid for a
macintel system, not a normal pc with a disk labeled gpt and an efi
support.
I know that it is not required an efi partiton to boot the os with
pc/bios and gpt disk. Or is it false ?
I guarantee that some smart geek here will know how to do it, though you
may need to search around for the appropriate forum:

BTW, why do you want to use gpt on a laptop?
