Attempted disk repair failed. All of gentoo got cleaned off that disk
along with all partition data. I thought that disk had been wiped some
time ago and my mistake was failing to check what was actually on that
disk before trying to install gentoo on it. The good thing about this is,

OK, the GPT Hybrid is a hack to allow legacy OSs which do know how to process
GPT table structures to be able to access up to three partitions on the disk
by creating MBR entries for them.
Since you have a UEFI MoBo it is best you use GPT partitioning, with an ESP
and the MoBo's UEFI firmware t
Thanks for the help on gdisk. I found both /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda3 are
mbr and not gpt partitions.
The weird thing was when setting these disks up fdisk offered to go into
gpt hybrid as one of its menu choices. I didn't go in there thinking that
/dev/sda was already gpt.

I didn't run grub-install yet but emerged gentoo-kernel-bin so maybe that
ran grub-install for me.
I'll check with gdisk and thanks much for your help on this problem.

We have the following IDs associated with block devices and their filesystem:

None of the uid's for sda1 sda2 and sda3 are displayed in efibootmgr.
/dev/sda1 is vfat and /dev/sda3 is xfs.

The efibootmgr will display the partition UUID where the .efi executable

I will always be installing from stage3 not the boot media since I can't
bring up speakup and have it read everything on the screen after booting.
I'm glad the script will be helpful for you and anyone else that can use
it in my situation or who prefers to install starting with stage3.

The efibootmgr program on original system shows no available gentoo boot

Hi Jude,
There are few decisions you have to make before you consider how to partition
your disk, which affect where /boot may be located.
1. EFI System Partition (ESP)
This is a GPT partition of type ef00 and formatted as FAT32, necessary for an
EFI motherboard which is not configured to boot
Here's the script I used to get from an existing system into the gentoo
environment to install the gentoo system. I started with stage3 and chose
openrc and went down that path.
#!/usr/bin/bash
# file: sgentoo.sh - setup gentoo mounts
echo "once disk setup from gentoo handbook is complete"
echo "
After having followed the handbook I end up with /boot in /sda3 even
though mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo/efi had been run and /dev/sda1 is vfat
32 format and is efi system.
What did I do wrong?
