## Installation
Follow the Gentoo amd64 handbook (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64) pretty closely with these exceptions:

1. Disable secure boot (at least until after the install is finished, if you don't you will get stuck because the handbook does not cover signing kernel nor adding keys to mok.)
1. You will need to mount your EFI partition (i.e. /dev/nvme0n1p1) somewhere under /boot (example: efivarfs on /sys/firmware/efi/efivars type efivarfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
/dev/nvme0n1p1 on /boot/EFI type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro))
