Cool :-)

I don't know what the devs' thinking on this has been, but it could be such 
options are not enabled by default because the network configuration can 
affect security.  For a binary desktop distro, more generic options would be 
preconfigured, as I expect is the case with genkernel.

I think UEFI is rather simpler to set up, no "BIOS Boot Partition" required.  
Just create a partition with type ef00 (GUID type C12A7328-F81F-11D2-
BA4B-00A0C93EC93B - EFI system partition) and format it as FAT32, before you 
mount it as /efi.

The handbook details how to set up a UEFI system with ESP, so spend some time 
reading through the docs before you jump in and consider options and 
permutations if you will be using openrc or systemd.

Consider your firewall settings to include IPv6, if IPv6 is enabled.
