If you are trying to boot in EFI mode, you aren't installing it
correctly. That installed to the MBR in legacy mode.


Instructions are here: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GRUB2

You need to mount /boot, and mount the EFI boot partition before
installing grub2 using `grub2-install --target=x86_64-efi`.

I'm still lost with this grab2, very confusing.  Gentoo official documentation 
did not mention any of this :-/

Official documentation did ask to create /dev/sda1 2M BIOS boot partition but 
there was no instruction how to mount it or format it.
I was under impression Grub2 will do all of this.
I booted with CD-minimal and there is no "mkdosfs" command.

Do I need to format the /dev/sda1?

If I do:
mkfs -t vfat -F 32 -n efi-boot /dev/sda1
mkfs.vfat: No such file or directory
