I'd say you're better off using a UEFI boot manager. If you use systemd,
add the boot USE flag to get its boot manager, formerly gummiboot. If you
don't use systemd you can install the boot manager on its own as
systemd-boot. Or try rEFInd. All are in portage and easy to set up in a
way that is shocking to anyone used to GRUB.
