UEFI, short for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, is a firmware standard for boot ROM designed to provide a stable API for interacting with system hardware. On x86 it replaced the legacy BIOS.
It was developed by Intel as Extensible Firmware Interface, short EFI, for the Itanium architecture ("IA-64" or Intel Architecture 64-bit). Like Open Firmware it is designed to be an architecture independent platform available to different CPU instruction sets. It was ported to 32-bit x86 "IA-32" (also i386 and x86-32), 64-bit x86 "x86-64" (also x64, AMD64 and Intel 64), ARM, RISC-V, and LoongArch.
This is a continuation from 2023-10-24-LiveUSB.md.

- Systemd boot (bootloader)
Systemd-boot is a simple UEFI boot manager which executes configured EFI images. The default entry is selected by an on-screen menu.
It is simple to configure, but can only start EFI executables, such as the Linux kernel EFISTUB, UEFI Shell, GRUB, and go on.
Before installing the EFI binaries we need to check if EFI variables are accessible:
(chroot) livecd /usr/src/linux-6.1.57-gentoo # emerge --ask sys-libs/efivar
(chroot) livecd /usr/src/linux-6.1.57-gentoo # efivar -l
