A few weeks ago I did an eix-sync but (with final exams coming) I did
not do an emerge --update @world.
The semester is over so I tried the emerge --update @world (still based
on the old eix-sync). Specifically

Not sure why you would think this. It is just a cpio archive of a
root filesystem that the kernel runs as a generic bootstrap.
This means that your bootstrap for initializing your root and
everything else can use any userspace tool that exists for linux.
A similar concept lies at the

I think what I read is that it is done automatically. They could have

When you emerge grub, Gentoo compiles and "installs" grub (and some
grub-related tools) to a directory inside your Gentoo installation, just
like other applications. The catch is that grub isn't like other
applications... it needs to run outside of Gentoo, before Linux starts.

There are 42 messages in quick succession for each disk, appearing to

I'm inclined towards the bad-usb-firmware idea - do you have a link to
where you read about
ches with L3/4/7 filtering and/or QoS
to an ADSL modem that supports "bridge" mode.
(I think ADSL providers don't want to use the word modem cause it makes
consumers think "slow".)

As you've no doubt figured out, the issue is that these device names
are assigned dynamically, and if your configuration changes (which I
suppose might even include changing the boot device depending on your
firmware), then these
es/media can be booted if CSM is
enabled - I think you need to press F12 to select the external bootable
device.

Nothing prevents an initramfs from booting an alternate kernel
actually, though if it does it will need its own root filesystem
initialized one way or another (which could be an initramfs).
Agreed.
