In gentoo in order to make a uefi system is it necessary to use douefi as a boot parameter when starting the install? If so, it wasn't in the handbook I read. If not, my guess would be gentoo discovers this information for itself. --

Portage is neither silly nor smart. Will do what will be told to do. By default is tracking stable packages unless you have specified otherwise either by changing universally the tracking $ARCH in make.conf or per package in package.accept_keywords file or directory. I would guess that you've got
