What has to be polished:

All this migration left quite some traces. I had grub and grub2, the
EFI-stuff now in /boot/efi ... etc ... and now I have the situation
where GRUB2 somehow reads the wrong grub.cfg or something. For example
if I try to toggle using a font (for testing) it doesn't get read at
boot time. Even if I re-announce(?) GRUB2 to UEFI etc.

I can boot gentoo, that's OK, but I think there's too much stuff in boot
now.

I hesitate to remove things so I ask:

if I have that /boot/efi partition mounted, does there have to be
anything grub-related in /boot at all?

I followed this guide, at least in most parts:

https://forums-web1.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7011836.html?sid=eb4f57a5e29f9e03463a4888296c6462

and this doesn't speak of coming from an older installation of grub or
grub2, so it doesn't mentioned cleaning up stuff or something.

In my /boot I have:

efi
grub
grub2

...

which seems odd to me.

And yes, I removed grub-0.9x already.
