What is missing in the DVD-Live or Minimal CD Install to boot correctly
in EFI Mode ?

The path /boot/efi/ is missing ... like one of the working other
distro...

Use a different liveCD. Try systemRescueCD first. Earlier today Grant mentioned success with a kbuntu disk (I thought they'd stopped making that?).

Hi,

Thank.
With the last SytemRescueCD (copied to an usb-stick) my efi bios see
that the usb-stick coulb be "efi-bootable". I see both HD and the USB
Devices in my "EFI Navigator"..

I can navigate within the SystemRescueCD trough my EFI "FileSystem
Navigator" . I cannot boot on this usb (open an .efi file), however. Now
I will check the files needed which was wrotten in my usb.

I guess that I must "transfer" the Gentoo 2012 dvd Image file to my
usb stick...but i dont know exact. I see an old procedure to put a cd
into an usb ...but i am not sure if it is same about to Gento 2012..

Or I must change the DVD Gentoo 2012 ISO Image (or an old version) to
includes an " efi-able" boot sector ... but i dont know how to
"rebuild" the iso image from a file system which includes the right dvd
boot sector.

Hi,

I found the following link to create an usblive
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/liveusb.xml

I will try this to check if this will be efi-able bootable

They have, or at least they've stopped financing it, so it will be purely
community supported now, but they haven't unmade the discs that are
already out there :)
