Description Stephan Karacson 2023-12-26 16:50:26 UTC
in the whole English/amd64 handbook the efi-partition is mounted at (chroot)/efi 
In German/handbook (although still parts are in English) it is referred to /efi too.
But on German grub-Installation it uses the command
"grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot"
what can't be true in any way. I would have expected "...--efi-directory=/efi" as in the english translation.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tun to german gentoo handbook
2. install Gentoo with the guide
3. fail at "grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot"
Actual Results:  
grub-install complains this is no EFI partition

Expected Results:  
grub-install installs in the efi-partition in /efi

I don't absolutely know how serious this is and how I should report it. But it should be fixed, so that noobs as I definitely once have been (somehow still now) don't get frustrated at the end of this great handbook.
