Am installing gentoo. At Grub bootloader but can’t seem to find kernel, which is odd because it’s existence was verified before restarting the machine. There doesn’t seem to be a “root” or “kernel” command, nor “vmlinuz”. Hexdumping gpt1 and gpt2 (the only two partitions with recognizable file systems to grub) says they’re not bootable disks. Edit: Made some progress—found the vmlinuz and initramfs with “ls (hd0, partition)/“. Used “linux” command and initrd to set and handle boot. Used “boot” to boot. Oddly enough, the partition with the correct filesystem for boot seems to require a rescue shell. Here are the instructions I’m following: https://christitus.com/grub-rescue/
