That is wrong. The mountpoint for the ESP should be NOW /efi (therefore you see in our AMD64 handbook a "mkdir /efi"). /boot is the standard directory for the kernel ... and it is NOW an ordinary directory of the root directory (so yes, the content of it resides in the root partition). Dont mount anything to /boot. Yes, a "make install" (or genkernel) installs the kernel into /boot. If /etc/fstab should be: /dev/nvme0n1p1 /efi vfat noauto,noatime 1 2 (IF this is your ESP) After mounting this ESP to /efi (and no mount on /boot + kernel IN boot) you should run: grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/efi AND a grub-mkconfig ! (so this routine will find your kernel in /boot and add it to the grub's config file; Yes your grub will be also in /boot/grub.
