I just found out efi variables are not available on my new system.
portage is also upset.

I don't know what to do to clear this error.
This sounds like two separate issues. For the second, do exactly what
it says. You need to edit /usr/local/portage/metadata/layout.conf to
say "masters = gentoo". I don't remember doing this on my system, but I
do have an emacs backup of that file without the "gentoo" on that line,
so I obviously made the edit. I wonder if that needs to be added to the
handbook.
On the other issue, what do you mean that efi variables are not
available? Is the system purely BIOS? That is certainly possible if it
is an older motherboard. If the system does support UEFI, are you sure
it is set in the BIOS?
